First of all competences. The labour market and companies need more and more people with
substantial portfolios. It means a number of competences. There is also characteristic that the
employers do not prefer formal competences. There is equal if the competences are formal,

vocational start‐ups are also more and more connected with apprentice or practice at a work
place.
