The member companies account for more than 20,000 jobs in the wood and furniture sector with an annual turnover of EUR 5.1 billion. The Danish Association of Upholsterer industry is the voice of the 150 Danish companies representing the industrial and the traditional side of the profession.. The participating companies account for approx. 500 jobs within the industry Developments/number of a apprentices in the respective trade On-going apprentices is about 200 On-going apprentices is about 25 Current employment prospects Demand for skilled employees in the respective trade if applicable, field of employment and principal place of employment There is a high demand for skilled employees, close to 2-3% unemployment Trends in transformation of qualifications New qualifications requirements, life-long learning/further training, changes in the respective job descriptions, acquisition of additional qualifications, etc. Supplementary training is a life-long possibility The department invites modern machine makers for thematic meetings a couple of times every year with about 70-80 visitors

Trends in transformation of employment Diversification of activities / industry demand for skilled trades / crisis and job losses in the furniture industry, change of job, etc. We have had a long crisis in the woodworking and upholsterer business with the loss of many companies and jobs. The industry is still hurting, but there is hope. The Danish structure of a vocational education The vocational educations are carried out according to the interchange principle. I.e. the training interchanges between periods at work in a company and periods at the college. A vocational education is composed of a basic programme and a main programme. When you decide to start a vocational education, there are three approaches. Practical You sign an apprenticeship contract with a company and start your training by working in the company. Then you are called to attend the basic programme at the college. College You start directly with the basic programme. During or immediately after the basic programme, you need to sign a training agreement with a company in order to continue the education. You are employed and paid as an apprentice in the company, and the school will call you for the needed main programmes at school. New Apprentice The practical training starts in the company. New Apprentice replaces the whole of the basic programme and the first practical period. The duration is one year. The company and the institute offering your main programme agree on the contents of the New Apprentice course, including which learning competences is the responsibility of the company, and which learning competences the institute is expected to take care of. Basic Programme - Basic Programme packages What is a Basic Programme? There are different entrances to Basic Programmes. You can enter one of them, depending on the education you choose. Each leads to a number of similar educations.

When starting a Basic Programme you are taught together with others, who have chosen the same entrance option. At the end of the Basic Programme you are taught subjects targeted at your specific choice of education. All Basic Programmes start with a 2 weeks evaluation of you and your competences. Based on the evaluation and your wishes, a personal education plan is made. The education plan contains the subjects we can offer you and states an approximate duration of your Basic Programme Package. The duration of the Basic Programme is dependent on your competences (abilities) be that professional or personal and the competences you wish to widen, or improve. The Basic Programme is therefore divided into Basic Programme Packages. Skive Technical Institute offers several Basic Programme Packages, each being able to satisfy your abilities and wishes. The Basic Programme starts twice a year, August and January. The Main Programme In the main programme you specialize within a specific profession. In order to continue to the main programme, you are required to sign a training agreement with a company. After having signed the training agreement you will work and receive training in the company a part of your education and parts of your theoretical study period is done at the college. The duration of the Main Programme varies depending on the education you choose. It is your responsibility to sign an agreement with a company. We can assist you with information about vacant apprenticeships at the companies, as well as advice about applying for an apprenticeship and the regulations for these. Admission regulations If you are attending 9th or 10th grade (16yrs.), you can apply to Skive Technical Institute through the school you are attending. Others can seek admission directly at the institute. If you are more than 25 years old, there is an opportunity to sign an agreement as an adult apprentice. This means that you are paid a salary equivalent to the salary of unskilled workers within your field, and that the company is reimbursed some of the salary by the public paid a public grant to the salary.
