praksisstilling

Praksisstilling is a Danish term that translates to "practical placement" or "internship." It refers to a period of work experience undertaken as part of an educational program. This placement typically allows students to apply theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world situations within a professional environment.

These practical placements are common across various educational levels and fields in Denmark, from vocational training to university degrees. They serve as a bridge between academia and the labor market, providing students with valuable industry insights, networking opportunities, and the chance to develop practical skills. A praksisstilling can range in duration from a few weeks to several months, depending on the specific program and institution.

During a praksisstilling, students are usually supervised by both an academic mentor and a workplace supervisor. The aim is for students to gain hands-on experience, understand professional responsibilities, and contribute to the host organization's work. For many educational programs, a successful praksisstilling is a mandatory requirement for graduation. It often culminates in a written report or presentation where students reflect on their experiences and learning outcomes.
