Among the internal measures may be mentioned that the Organization
bas drawn up a general journeyman-diploma and apprenticeship-certificate,
and that it awards prize-medals, these latter bearing the portrait of the
patron of the Organization, King Gustavus V, together with the motto of
the Organization "Till yrkenas förkovran" (For the promotion of
handicrafts) .
During the last few years the Organization has enjoyed a State grant,

The Organization has had its headquarters in Kristianstad since 1905.
