The Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) is one of the main EU financial resources to support the implementation of Youth Guarantee schemes. Under the latter, Member States should put in place measures to ensure that young people up to the age of 25 receive a good quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed. The YEI was launched to specifically provide support to young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs) and who are living in regions where youth unemployment is higher than 25%. Thus, it ensures that in parts of Europe where the challenges are most acute, young people can receive targeted support.
