Education in this field
As an automation technician, you work with the systems that make machines and equipment run automatically. These can be robots, conveyor belts, production equipment or other technical solutions that need to be controlled, monitored and kept in operation.
You learn to combine mechanics, electricity and programming so that the different parts work together precisely and safely — and you become an important part of keeping technical processes running in everyday life.
As a building painter, you work with surfaces, colors and techniques that give buildings the right look, both inside and out. You learn to prepare surfaces, repair damage, choose materials and carry out painting work that lasts. The profession is about precision, overview and understanding how different colors, materials and surfaces work in practice.
As an electrician, you work with the technical solutions that make everything from homes and offices to machines and larger systems work. You learn to install, connect, program and maintain everything from light and data to surveillance, networks, intelligent building functions and robot-controlled processes.
The subject combines technical understanding, systems thinking and the ability to create solutions that are safe and work in practice.
As a bricklayer, you work on building and renovating everything from walls and facades to bathrooms and floors. You learn to work with materials such as bricks, tiles, mortar and concrete, and you are trained in both the large constructions and the fine details that give a finished result.
The profession requires precision, overview and understanding of how materials behave when they are used to create something that will last for many years.
As a composite operator, you learn to manufacture products in strong and lightweight materials that are used in, for example, wind turbines, boats, cars and airplanes. You work with fiberglass and other composite materials, which are shaped, built up and hardened into precise and durable items.
The subject combines technique, quality and understanding of materials — and you become part of the production of solutions that are used in everything from green energy to industrial products.
As a carpenter, you work on building, assembling and shaping wooden solutions. Everything from roof structures and floors to facades, stairs and smaller building details. You learn to be responsible for both the visible work that characterizes a room and the constructions that other craftsmen build on.
The profession requires precision, understanding of materials and the ability to think in practical solutions that last.
As a plumbing and energy graduate, you work with technical solutions that make buildings function stably, safely and energy-efficiently. You learn to install, adjust and optimize systems that provide heating, water, ventilation and indoor climate – and you are trained to find precise solutions that both save energy and protect the environment.
The education gives you a solid technical foundation, where you combine practical work with pipes, metal and energy installations with measurements, calculations and troubleshooting.
As an industrial operator, you become part of the modern production world, where technology, quality and safety play a big role. You work with computer-controlled equipment, monitoring, troubleshooting and stable production processes. This is an education for those who want to be close to technology and help make things work.
How to start the training
When you begin, you start with the basic course. Here you get an introduction to materials, workshops and working methods within the various craft and technical subjects. This gives you a solid base before you choose an education.
Basic course 1 – for those coming directly from primary school
You will be introduced to several professional areas and work with smaller, concrete exercises. You will learn the basic techniques and gain an understanding of how the different professions in construction and installation differ from each other.
Basic course 2 – when you have chosen your education
The teaching will be geared towards the education you have chosen. You will work more purposefully with the techniques, processes and materials that belong to the subject, and you will be prepared for both the internship and the main course.
