New figures confirm lack of places of apprenticeships for certain interns in the green sector

There is still a general lack of places of apprenticeships in the horticultural and forestry fields according to the new figures from the Ministry of Children and Education.

Last year’s trend continues for the horticultural and forestry fields. The Ministry of Children and Education’s new statistics show that there is still a general lack of places of apprenticeships in 2023.

For you as an intern it means that, if you are offered an internship within either horticulture or forestry, your place of internship must attach an additional declaration to your application for a residence and work permit.

On the application page you can find the declaration and read more about the requirements for places of internships in fields with lack of places of apprenticeships.

You can find the statistics on the Ministry of Children and Education’s website (in Danish only).

The statistics for 2024 will be made available at the beginning of 2024. We will inform about the newest figures here on the website.
