Abstract

When the Danish Government took office in November 2001 it transferred the adult vocational training system to the Ministry of Education. The aim was to create a dynamic interaction between initial vocational education and training and adult vocational training programmes. Intensive efforts have since been made to create a framework that ensures that future education and training becomes so targeted and flexible that they will be able to handle the very different needs of enterprises and employees for competence development.

This booklet which contains a translation of the original Danish edition published November 2003 provides more detailed information about the new flexible adult vocational training concept and the increased interaction between initial vocational education and training and adult vocational training efforts. It also describes how the changed financial governance and the new institutional structure support the adult vocational training concept.
