2023 marked a pivotal year for European and Spanish youth, with the rollout of the Youth Guarantee Plan Plus. Thanks to SEPE, new doors opened for those seeking better job prospects. This article explains everything about the National Youth Guarantee System and how SEPE supports this initiative to benefit thousands of young people.
What is the Youth Guarantee Plan?
Youth Guarantee is more than a policy. It is a commitment by the European Union to ensure that every young person who is not in education or training can access an employment opportunity. The commitment encompasses job postings, education and training, and internship programs. It helps young people take a decisive step after finishing their formal education.
