Young people have been some of the hardest hit by the economic effects of the pandemic, and are often the first to lose their jobs or to see a drop in income. The EU’s Youth Guarantee assures that all young people under the age of 30 who sign up will receive an offer of a job, apprenticeship, education, or training within four months. One of the ways of helping implement the Youth Guarantee is offering young people from disadvantaged backgrounds a chance to gain new skills and confidence by working abroad. A new initiative called ALMA (Aim, Learn, Master, Achieve) will offer exactly that across the EU later this year. It is inspired by a smaller, existing European initiative called TLN Mobility.
