Young people can't be used as cheap labour under the guise of traineeships. False traineeships are abusive practices that Member states should not be shy to tackle.

@europarl.europa.eu must lead on quality traineeships for young workers: www.etuc.org/en/node/25554

Toying with the first inklings of an idea to establish a charitable fund to pay for traineeships for people to qualify as housing solicitors. Heaven knows, they are needed. I will research this...

UK salaries are genuinely horrifying, that's roughly what you get as a grad student in Germany on a 60% contract (gross), with almost certainly lower cost of living.
(Bundesbank Traineeships pay slightly better still due to federal vs state payscales etc, should be slightly upwards of 60k euros)
My first post university job in 2004 on the BOE grad scheme paid £24,500. Full time minimum wage was (at 35 hours at a week) £8,190.
BOE grad scheme today pays £33,525. Minimum wage at 35 hours a week: £23,132.
A real terms collapse and a real terms surge.

Tijdens het jobsearchen ook allemaal leuke traineeships tegenkomen en bijna denken - wou dat ik nog beginnend journalist was. Ben ik natuurlijk relatief gezien wel, vergeleken met mensen die al veel langer werken, maar niet “traineeship”-nieuw.
Mooi dat het Fonds BJP weer traineeships mogelijk maakt. Tegelijkertijd is het ook belangrijker dan ooit dat redacties voor continuïteit zorgen: hoe vaak maken we niet mee dat trainees na afloop van de subsidie niet meer als onderzoeksjournalist verder kunnen? Veel te vaak.

Grateful to have earned a 100% rating on the 2026 #Virginia Humane Scorecard for supporting legislation to take care of animals. It includes my bill to increase vet traineeships.

There are a lot of reasons to fight data center sprawl, including protecting wildlife.

Discussing the job market:

Me: „Anyone I know in their mid 30s who has a phd in the humanities is either back to applying for traineeships or doing comedy, or both, there are no other options.“
My Dad: „Marry rich.“

Brb I‘m trying to see if my Raya application finally got approved.

Funnily enough, archaeologists who study past landscapes are also pretty keen on looking after them in the present too. Great news about the latest round of conservation traineeships with the lovely people @worcswt.bsky.social
We’re excited to be recruiting for our next group of conservation trainees! 🙌 🌿 ✨

Our trainee placements are a great way to get hands-on experience and build the skills needed for a career in UK wildlife conservation.

Day one in the new job. Straight into the core work.

🔹 Traineeships directive

Vannacht dacht ik aan onderstaand onderzoek, de uitkomsten, de werkelijkheid op de werkvloer [dit geldt echt in alle sectoren, ook met stages en traineeships] en vervolgens aan wat Schoof zei tijdens zijn persconferentie.
We hebben inderdaad een integratieprobleem. Vanuit de dominante groep.
