Denmark has persistent challenges with an unacceptably large 'residual group' of young people with no upper secondary education. Vocational education and training programs continue to suffer low enrollment and high dropout rates. Far too many ethnic minority boys drop out of school and educational system in Denmark. At the same time, there is a growing shortage of labor within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In this article, we introduce and discuss an educational approach, invented in the Pathway-to-Technology (P-Tech) schools in the US, as a reflection model for Denmark and Scandinavia and for teacher educators. P-Tech is the concerted pedagogical efforts of various educational institutions, businesses, and political initiatives aimed specifically at the large marginalized and vulnerable residual youth groups in the US.
