Recent-Graduate Traineeship Tracks: a European Framework for Quality, Equity & Mobility in Post-Graduate Traineeships

This report proposes a Recent-Graduate Trainee Track (RGTT) as a European, minimum-standard framework to make post-graduate traineeships more quality-assured, equitable, and mobility-friendly, grounded in desk research, an exploratory graduate survey, and multi-stakeholder regional consultations. It translates evidence into four operational pillars: learning & quality assurance, supervision & mentorship, financial accessibility & equity, and transparency, plus practical implementation guidance (checklist, roles, and light monitoring).
