The Vocational System
Technical colleges cover a very broad spectrum of education
and training programmes, for instance, programmes in the metal industries, building and
construction, electronics and data, the food industries and trades, transports,
agriculture, the graphic industries and service trades.
Only the largest colleges can offer all programmes. As a general rule,
colleges specialize in certain programmes and specialized lines.
The physical interior and fittings of the colleges reflect the method
of teaching. Very often, theory is followed up by practical training which simulates work
routines from real life on the job. Workshops, laboratories, various technical
installations etc. are situated alongside traditional class-rooms. Colleges have at their
disposal technological equipment that matches the standards of that being used by
enterprises in the different trades.
Technical colleges offer education in three main categories: vocational
education and training, technical upper secondary education and technical short-cycle
higher education programmes.
Vocational Education and Training Programmes
All programmes qualify for job market entrance as well as for direct admission to
the colleges’ technical short-cycle higher education courses, e.g. technician
(HND-level). The programmes also provide credits which can be transferred to meet some of
the admission requirements for the higher education and training of technicians at an
academic level, e.g. engineering studies.
The majority of the programmes offer free admission to everybody who has finished the
ninth form of the "Folkeskole".
After the college-based introduction, all programmes continue in
employment (on a contract basis) in an enterprise and with a salary, alternating with
short periods in college. This part of the programme will normally take two to three
years, and will typically include three or four periods in college, each lasting five or
ten weeks.
The education and training programme for mechanics
Each vocational education and training programme is built up in a
flexible system, with a broad introduction and later specialization. The structure of
different lines of specialization in each individual education and training programme
helps to ensure that the training programme always meets the requirements of the trades
and industries. When developments in the labour market require changes in job
qualifications, the education and training programmes can be enlarged by adding new lines
of specialization.
