Painter Patrick Wedell Neergaard calls his apprenticeship “pure hell”, while carpenter Kirstine Kjær Haustad faced gender discrimination.

The Confederation of Danish Industry and union 3F will conduct regular surveys to improve apprentices’ wellbeing. The series Bare en lortelærling is available on DRTV.
