European Solidarity Corps: Get started with Jobs & Traineeships: ONLINE

This online training focuses on the quality elements in Jobs & Traineeship projects in the European Solidarity Corps.  Jobs and traineeships in ESC are the most challenging projects for both - the NAs and organisations. Even though National Agencies have quality-labeled organisations they still don’t have a satisfactory number of projects in occupational strand.

This is the reason why the present training is open for organizations which do not have QL and are not only from NGO but also business sector. This will be a chance first of all to invite new organizations willing to do projects in European Solidarity Corps with special focus on Jobs & Traineeships projects.

• do not  hold a Job and/or Traineeship Quality Label (NGOs, foundations and non-profit organizations);
• represent business sector (corporations, companies etc.);
• organizations successfully implementing CSR practices;
• are in the process of  receiving a Job and/or Traineeship Quality Label and coordinate placements (please consolidate with your National Agency )
