Council reached an agreement on the Traineeships Directive 

On 19 June 2025, the Council has agreed its position (general approach) on a proposal for the Traineeships Directive.

The main goal of the future Directive is to improve and enforce working conditions for trainees and combat “false” traineeships, while taking into account Member States’ different systems.

It is positive that the scope does not focus on open market traineeship anymore.

Please see under "Related documents" the analysis of the main outcome.
