Our system is in Danish, but you can always ask your union representative or the person responsible for education at your workplace for help e.g. with your application or if you want IKUF to pre-pay a participation fee for an approved application (only self-selected education). If you represent the company, you can ask your employers’ organization for help.
About IKUF
IKUF stands for “Industriens Kompetenceudviklingsfond”, shortened in Danish as IKUF.
IKUF was established by DI – the organization representing the Danish Industry and the Central Organization of Industrial Employees in Denmark (CO-industri) during the collective agreement renewal in 2007. The purpose is to ensure the development of employees’ qualifications to maintain and strengthen companies’ competitiveness.
Since 2007, IKUF has provided funding for self-selected courses for employees in the industry and later also agreed-upon education for the companies that have joined these collective agreements and for the employers who work under them:
- Industriens Overenskomst
- Industriens Funktionæroverenskomst
- Overenskomsten for slagteområdet mellem DI og Fødevareforbundet NNF
- Den fødevareindustrielle overenskomst mellem DI og Fødevareforbundet NNF.
It is possible to apply for funding to self-selected education (the employer applies) or agreed-upon education (the employer and the company applies together).
In special situations involving temporary work shortages the company can apply for supportive funding if there is local consent.
