00:00Just one hour away from Copenhagen, a vocational education and training center is turning Danish students into craftspeople.
00:09I've always been creative and practical with my hands and then I thought I want to learn a trade.
00:16Then Glacier popped up and it looked really interesting.
00:20I really like the work. It's not like other types of construction works, typically a lot of manual labor.
00:27We do have a few heavy lifts here and there, but mainly it's quite nice work.
00:35It's never too late to learn new stuff and when you're open-minded, it's always a possibility.
00:43As Europe works to cut carbon emissions, the demand for skilled workers is greater than ever.
00:48Vocational education and training centers across the EU are leading the way, preparing students to drive the energy transition.
00:57About 180 people are enrolled at this school, learning the skills industries are often looking for, such as glazing, roofing and construction.
01:09Students split their time between the classroom and the workplace, discovering there are plenty of opportunities beyond the traditional academic path.
01:18And it's attracting people from all walks of life.
01:21I studied philosophy and history and then I also wanted to get something more of a permanent steady job, but that's quite hard being a philosopher or having studied philosophy.
01:35When you work as a glacier, it's a practical trade and you get a more instant satisfaction working with your hands and you can see the results more vividly.
01:47I always knew I wouldn't go the academic way. I've always been better with my hands.
01:53It's good we start pushing more for the green energy and for the environment.
01:58It's a big part of our job and it's going to perhaps change how we work.
02:03Although vocational education often provides a more secure path to employment than traditional academics, it continues to suffer from low enrollment and visibility.
02:15The Clever Hands for the Future initiative, coordinated by this school, aims to change that.
02:20Backed by 1.95 million euros from the EU's Social Fund Plus, the three-year project uses new ways to shine a light on vocational careers.
02:29Projectets hovedformål er sådan set at rekrutere, altså at få en masse unge mennesker til at tage en erhvervsuddannelse.
02:39Den første hovedindsats er, at vi laver et samarbejde mellem nogle af vores EUD-lærere herude og grundskolerne,
02:47så de bliver tilknyttet i en klasse og har en langvarig relation, hvor det er, at de så kommer ud og viser de unge mennesker,
02:53at det er mega fedt at gå til håndværk.
02:54Så prøver vi at oplyse igennem vores jobcentre, hvor vi har jobcentremedarbejderne ude på skolerne,
03:01og så prøver de håndværksfagene, og den måde igennem så kan de bedre vejlede dem, som skal ud og have et job.
03:09Between 2021 and 2027, the EU is investing more than 150 billion euros in education and skills,
03:17with a strong focus on vocational education and training.
03:21To tackle skill shortages, especially in the energy and digital sectors,
03:26the European Strategy supports both funding and the harmonizing of qualifications across member states.
03:32Education is not an EU competence, it's the competence of governments, of regions.
03:37and there's a lot of important discussions among member states.
03:42Okay, but if we have, you know, European cooperation and exchanges and a European vocational degree,
03:49how do we make sure that we are able to, and if we want to have recognition of qualifications,
03:54that we have these quality systems aligned.
03:58Most importantly, you need to build trust between educational systems,
04:01but for the average person, what is important is that it can travel with his or her diploma, degree,
04:09throughout member states, wherever the industry or the job is better suited to what they're skilled for.
04:16The EU is also working to get more vocational students involved in international programs like Erasmus+,
04:22and to close the gender gap that still affects many trades.
04:26For Robert, this kind of support sends a strong signal to those wanting to explore alternative paths in life.
04:33The message I would like to tell is to think about it and there's more options than you think,
04:40and maybe you have overlooked a good option that could be a really good way for your future working life.
04:45Europe's future depends not just on technology and craft, but on people with the skills to make them work.
04:52Investing in vocational education and training today builds the workforce of tomorrow.
