The Youth Employment Initiative was launched in 2013 to provide targeted support to young people aged below 25 and living in regions where youth unemployment was higher than 25% in 2012.

– Deliver youth opportunities. The European youth suffers most from the economic crisis and the structural labour market problems, as set out in the recent Youth Opportunities Initiative.[28] The Commission reconfirms its commitments to tackle the dramatic levels of youth unemployment, including by mobilizing available EU funding.[29] Echoing a call by the European Council,[30] the support for transition to work, e.g. through youth guarantees, activation measures targeting ...[+++] young people, the quality of traineeships[31], and youth mobility should be prioritised.

Actions were deployed in each of the four pillars of the initiative: (i) a Council Recommendation targeting early school leaving was formulated in 2011[20] and gave impetus to national action to reduce dropout rates, and cooperation at European level in the field of vocational education and training was strengthened; (ii) modernising higher education has been at the core of a Communication from the Commission; (iii) mobility was fostered through a range of instruments, notably the new integrated approach of the Erasmus+ programme, the European Skills Passport or the scheme "Your First EURES job ...[+++]" aimed at providing labour market opportunities for young people in the 28 Member States; (iv) to fight against youth unemployment and inactivity, a Council Recommendation[21] establishing Youth Guarantees[22] was adopted and Youth Guarantee schemes were launched – they can be supported by the European Structural and Investment Funds and the Youth Employment Initiative, for Member States with regions showing a youth unemployment rate of above 25%.

Political commitment for the Youth Guarantee must remain high so that structural reforms and dedicated measures benefit all NEETs. Outreach and tailored solutions must be stepped up for young people facing multiple barriers, for example by broadening the range of interventions proposed within Youth Guarantee offers. Better mechanisms must be set up to ensure that young people receive offers of high quality. Investment in partnerships and capacity building to improve the delivery of the Youth Guarantee must be strengthened, for example the cooperation between education providers and employers ...[+++] and the capacity of Public Employment Services. Financial support, most notably through the Youth Employment Initiative, must continue.
