Almost 60 percent of the women who start the mechanic training in Denmark drop out again. This is shown by a new survey from the trade union Lederne.
Although there are most men on the mechanical training course in Denmark, it is almost 60 percent of the women who still seek admission who drop out again.
This is shown by a new survey from the trade union Lederne.
There is therefore a preponderance of women who drop out at the main stage of the mechanic education. In any case, comparisons are made with the number of men who have dropped out of other vocational courses, where there are typically most women.
This applies to subjects such as care, health and pedagogy. And that, i.e. that the women who are least represented on the education programs drop out to a large extent, is a big problem, according to the chief consultant at Lederne, Nina Christine Schwarz.

– We miss out on talent, and we get a fragmented labor market and can end up in major recruitment challenges if that trend is not reversed, reads a press release .
Nina Christine Schwarz points out that more things need to be done to strengthen not just the mechanic education but vocational education in general.
Among other things. must the educational guidance be changed so that stereotypes are not repeated at the educational institutions. And then the companies must be able to show openness.
There are also indications that there are already major recruitment challenges. In the mechanics profession alone, 56 percent of the workshops believe that it is difficult to get enough people. At the same time, however, there are fewer and fewer young people who even bother to apply for the mechanic training. Read more about it here .
