Thank you very much for your contribution! The European Pact for Youth is a mutual engagement of business and European Union leaders. When the Pact was launched in 2015, leading companies and organisations set clear priorities with two common targets: to create "10,000 quality business-education partnerships" and "to establish together at least 100,000 new good quality apprenticeships, traineeships or entry-level jobs." "To reach these targets, we will build on the resources and capacities available through existing campaigns and alliance initiatives on skills for jobs and apprenticeships". The questionnaire will start with some introductory questions (all your input will remain anonymous), after which there will be 4 mandatory questions relating directly to the targets of the Pact. They are accompanied by 6 optional questions relating to the nature of your initiatives. There are two ways you can fill in this online questionnaire: (1) You fill it in centrally at European/national level. You do this by aggregating all of your affiliates/members data and by feeding that into the questionnaire one single time through this questionnaire. (2) You forward this questionnaire to your national affiliates/members. They individually fill in their respective country data. As organisations can be active in multiple initiatives, we are aware of the possibility of double counting. To avoid repetition, we have asked organisations/networks to not distribute this questionnaire to national affiliates of these companies. This questionnaire will also be sent out around the same time in 2017. We thank you in advance for your time and efforts and remain at your disposal should you have any questions. Kind regards, Jan Noterdaeme & Marten Verheugt Pact for Youth Secretariat pact4youth@csreurope.org 1
