The Apprentice and Student Network in Billund Business

There is a strong demand for young people – both in education choices, apprenticeships, and as future employees. That’s why Billund Business, with support from the local business community, has established an Apprentice and Student Network across companies in the municipality.

The initiative aims to attract more apprentices and students, build relationships, and strengthen connections to both local businesses and the region.
