Denmark's portal for finding apprenticeship positions and internships. Lærepladsen.dk is the official portal where you can find apprenticeship positions throughout Denmark.
The site is operated by the Ministry of Children and Education and gathers all available positions in one place.
An apprenticeship position is a prerequisite for completing most vocational educations – so this portal is crucial for your path to becoming skilled.
Why is an apprenticeship position important?
Most vocational educations consist of two parts:
- School education – Theoretical instruction at a vocational school
- Apprenticeship – Practical training at a company
Without an apprenticeship position, you cannot complete your education. This is where Lærepladsen.dk becomes your most important tool.
