3.6.1.DK-vi.1 Basic vocational training
(Grundlæggende erhvervsuddannelse)


3.6.1.1. Aim

  • - To motivate young persons to undergo training and to ensure that all young persons who want to undergo vocational training can do so;
  • - to give young persons relevant training;
  • - to meet the needs of the labour market;
  • - to offer opportunities for further and advanced training;
  • - to provide a basis for continued training.

    3.6.1.2. Legal basis

  • - The Act on Vocational Training
  • - Consolidation Act no. 480 of 22 June 1990, as amended most recently by Act no. 321 of 29 May 1991.

    3.6.1.3. Contents

    The reform of vocational training activities which took effect on 1 January 1991 introduced a new system of vocational training. The reform also brought about a reduction in the number of different training programmes from 300 to about 85.

    New legislation has also been introduced as regards practical training places. The new legislation means that more enterprises can now be approved for the purpose of offering practical training places to young persons. Young persons who are not able to find a training place in an enterprise may now be offered practical training in commercial or technical schools instead.

    3.6.1.4. Institutional support

    The reform of the vocational training system is characterised by decentralisation. It is the training schools which register trai-ning agreements while special committees are responsible for ap-proving the enterprises which recruit trainees.
