(12) TEasily accessible traineeships and jobs in solidarity- related areas can offer additional opportunities for young people to make a start or carry on, on the labour market while giving a clear European value in contributing to addressing unmet key societal challenges. This can help foster the employability and productivity of young people while easing their transition from education to employment, which is key to enhancing their chances on the labour market. The traineeship activities offered under the European Solidarity Corps follow the quality principles outlined in Council Recommendation on establishing a Quality Framework for Traineeships, always being paid and based in written agreement21. The traineeships and jobs offered can constitute a stepping stone for young people to enter the labour market and are accompanied by adequate post-activity support. The traineeship and job activities are facilitated by relevant labour market actors, in particular public and private employment services, social partners and Chambers of Commerce, and are remunerated by the participating organisation. As participating organisations, they should apply for funding via the competent implementing body of the European Solidarity Corps in view of intermediating between the young participants and employers offering traineeship and job activities in solidarity sectors. __________________ 21 Council Recommendation of 15 March 2018 on a European Framework for Quality and Effective Apprenticeships (OJ C 153, 2.5.2018, p. 1).

(12a) Efforts should be made to ensure that traineeships and jobs are opened to talented and competent youth, in particular to young people with fewer opportunities to participate in solidarity- related activities, including those with disabilities, social or cultural disadvantages, migrants and residents in isolated rural areas and the outermost regions of the EU.

Recital 17
(17) A quality label should ensure compliance of the participating organisations with the principles and requirements of the European Solidarity Corps, as regards their rights and responsibilities during all stages of the solidarity experience. Obtaining a quality label is a precondition for participation but should not automatically lead to funding under the European Solidarity Corps. Separate quality labels should be put in place for volunteering and for traineeships and jobs, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of each component. The process that leads to attribution of a quality label should not create additional bureaucracy that would dissuade organisations and private businesses from contributions to the European Solidarity Corps.
