Management of training time in France and Denmark

In 1998, more than 100 researchers and vocational training experts from most European Union (EU) Member States and other countries in Central and Eastern Europe attended a conference that was held in collaboration with the German Federal Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology and the European Training Foundation (ETF) to: examine how comparative vocational training research is related to policy and practice and how it contributes to the transfer of innovation in the European context; and assess the current situation and highlight prospects for the development of comparative vocational training research in future.

This paper from the fourth workshop examines the management of training time, which is seen to shape a nation’s training system, in two very different societies. The paper begins by looking at the differences in philosophy and time frames between training systems in Denmark and France before proceeding to illustrate the similarities which emerged between the two systems.
