Date of creation of toolkit and periodicity of updates
November 2014.
This catalogue updates and complements the 2013 Heads of public employment services (HoPES) Catalogue of measures for the implementation of the Youth Guarantee. This latter catalogue listed the measures planned or recently implemented by national Public Employment Services (PES) to develop their service offer.
Purpose of the toolkit
Guidance on best practice (to improve the design of policies and practices).
It provides a collection of evaluated and promising measures for the implementation of the Youth Guarantee, identified and presented by the members of the network. The goal is not to establish a comprehensive overview of activities across Member States but to shed light on trends and key features of the selected measures. PES are either leading partners or a contributors to the practices presented.
Description of each of the tools
It is a document gathering examples of PES measures implementing the Youth Guarantee. It relates to:
- improving transparency of supply and demand in the labour market;
- employment counselling and guidance services for young people;
- improving PES services for employers; and
- measures on activation and placement.
Type of guidance given to users
The catalogue is a repository of country examples of PES measures. It is divided by topic, namely:
- examples of PES measures to improve the transparency of supply and demand in the labour market
- examples of PES employment counselling and guidance services for young people
- examples of improved PES services for employers (e.g. measures to encourage employers to create employment or training opportunities for young people)
- examples of PES measures on activation and placement
It also provides, in an annex, a catalogue of measures for the implementation of the Youth Guarantee, as identified by the members of the European network of public employment services, which provide a practical description of the measure, the role of the PES in that measure, its funding and a description of its outputs and outcomes.
