Oplæring i udlandet
OPU-ordningen (Oplæring i Udlandet) giver mulighed for at gennemføre oplæringsophold i udlandet, som kan finde sted hvor som helst i verden. Denne ordning gør det muligt at få opholdet godkendt som en del af den danske erhvervsuddannelse. Der ydes økonomisk støtte enten til lærlingen eller til den danske arbejdsgiver.
OPU-koordinatorerne på erhvervsskolerne står for rådgivning og håndtering af udsendelsen af lærlinge til udlandet.
Der findes to typer udsendelse til udlandet
Der findes to typer udsendelse til udlandet:
- Oplæring i udlandet
En skoleudsendelse, hvor lærlingen ikke har en dansk uddannelsesaftale. - Udstationering
Lærlingen har en uddannelsesaftale med en virksomhed i Danmark og udstationeres til en af virksomhedens afdelinger eller til en anden virksomhed i udlandet.
På erhvervsskolerne er der OPU-vejledere, som kan hjælpe uanset hvilken type ophold lærlingen skal på. Hvis lærlingen ikke har en dansk læreplads, kan vedkommende henvende sig til sin skole og skolens internationale koordinator/OPU-vejleder for hjælp til at finde beskæftigelse i udlandet. Ved udstationering kan lærlingen kontakte sin danske arbejdsgiver, som vil hjælpe med at etablere kontakt til et udenlandsk lærested.
Et oplæringsophold i udlandet giver mulighed for både faglig og personlig udvikling. Lærlingen kan styrke sine sproglige færdigheder, skabe internationale kontakter, lære en ny kultur at kende og få indsigt i, hvordan faget anvendes globalt. Et praktikophold i udlandet kan derfor være en værdifuld investering i fremtiden.
Forhåndsgodkendelse og godskrivning
For at et oplæringsophold i udlandet kan blive en del af erhvervsuddannelsen, skal det forhåndsgodkendes af erhvervsskolen inden afrejse. Dette sikrer, at opholdet kan indgå som en del af uddannelsesforløbet. Efter opholdet skal erhvervsskolen godskrive det, hvilket betyder, at opholdet skal godkendes som en del af eller hele oplæringen.
OPU-koordinatoren på erhvervsskolen kan oplyse om kravene til både forhåndsgodkendelse og godskrivning.
