And thereby get her into an industry where she feels much more at home, and therefore can unfold her talent and be among one of the country’s most talented Industrial Technician apprentices,” says Niels Rahbek, Director of Hydraflex A/S.

Esben Kristensen believes that it is wrong for young people to believe that a vocational education will close and not open doors for them.
