Document background
The Apprenticeship Agreement is a fundamental document in the Danish vocational education system, required whenever an employer takes on an apprentice for vocational training. It serves as both an employment contract and an educational agreement, ensuring compliance with the Danish Vocational Education and Training Act. The document is essential for structuring the dual training system characteristic of Danish apprenticeships, where practical work experience is combined with theoretical education at vocational schools. This agreement type is mandatory for all apprenticeships in Denmark and must include specific provisions about training periods, educational components, working conditions, and remuneration. It forms the legal basis for the entire apprenticeship period and protects the interests of both the training company and the apprentice.
