3.4.1.1. Aim
Vocational training courses for adults serve the following purposes:
- to provide, maintain or improve the vocational skills of the participants in accordance with the needs of the enterprises, the labour market and the individuals, on the basis of the vocational background of the individual and in line with the technological and social development, and
- to facilitate conversion and adaptation problems on the Danish labour market.
3.4.1.2. Contents
The qualifications which a person obtains by participation in a specific training programme are well-known and generally accepted on the labuor market and recognised by the social partners. These training schemes give the participants formal qualifications that are recognised national.
The organisation of vocational training programmes is to a great extent based on a close cooperation with the social partners, who are, among other things, involved in the identification of training needs, development and formulation of the content of the training programmes as well as training of teachers and instructors.
Training programmes exist within more than 50 occupational fields/sectors. For each occupational field a committee for continued training has been set up and is - in cooperation with the National Labour Market Authority and the Training Committee - responsible for the content of the training programmes.
