Traineeships
In Belgium, training period agreements are based on employment contracts; trainees fall under the same legislation as employees (same rights and obligations). For example, the employer must provide trainees with a copy of the employment regulations and must take out occupational accident insurance for them.
Employment policy is a regional competence. Each region is responsible for the design and implementation of employment measures. Also traineeships are delivered in different ways, as each public employment service understands the concept differently.
