Tækninæmi
Tækninæmi is a term used in Iceland to describe a period of vocational training or apprenticeship within a technical field. These programs are designed to provide practical, hands-on experience and specialized skills necessary for employment in various technical industries. Tækninæmi typically involves a combination of theoretical instruction and practical work experience, often in collaboration with companies and educational institutions. The goal is to bridge the gap between academic learning and the demands of the modern workforce, preparing individuals for careers in areas such as engineering, manufacturing, information technology, and skilled trades.
