The Danish labour market is short on vocationally trained employees in several professions. There is a need to provide more vocational training opportunities in the companies so that more young people and adults can complete a vocational training programme.
Based on the number of vocationally trained employees, Læreplads-AUB calculates how many students from vocational educations each company must employ. Companies that do not contribute sufficiently must pay a contribution to Læreplads-AUB.
