Youth Guarantee

After the economic crisis of 2008, youth unemployment in Europe rose sharply, reaching over 23% in the EU by 2013.

The phenomenon of NEETs (“Not in Employment, Education or Training”) became a major concern, requiring a common European response.

In April 2013, the Council of the European Union adopted the recommendation to establish a Youth Guarantee.

In Luxembourg, the coordination of the Youth Guarantee lies with the Ministry of Labour.

ADEM is a key partner in implementing the Youth Guarantee. Its goal is to facilitate young people’s access to the labour market.

The Youth Guarantee aims to provide every young person aged 15 to 30 with a concrete offer to enter the labour market within four months of registering with ADEM:

  • a job,
  • a training,
  • an apprenticeship,
  • or an internship.

How can you benefit from the Youth Guarantee?

As a young jobseeker under the age of 30, registering with ADEM is the first step towards building your professional future.

During the first six months at ADEM, you will meet your personal counsellor every month, who will guide you through your professional integration.

The more openly you share your interests, strengths and ambitions, the better your counsellor can suggest opportunities that match your profile.

ADEM’s goal is to help you integrate quickly and actively into professional life.
