Get ready for the Danish labour market

If you are a refugee or have been reunited with your family in Denmark, you now have the opportunity to be employed via the new Act on Integration Education (integrationsgrunduddannelse, abbreviated IGU henceforth).

IGU enables you to become part of the Danish labour market – even if you do not yet know the Danish language or can meet Danish labour market demands from day one.

Integration job: 2 years with school and salary

Integration jobs are aimed at people between the age of 18 and 40. An integration job lasts 2 years where you will be employed within a Danish company. Apart from being trained in your field of expertise, you will also go to school for up to 20 weeks.

You will earn a salary from your employer throughout the 2 years. During the 20 weeks of school, you will receive training subsidies – an amount equal to integration allowance for refugees.

At the end, you will receive a diploma. The idea is that after 2 years you will have learnt so much about the Danish labour market that you are qualified to apply for any kind of job.

How to get an integration job

You need to apply for an integration job at a company – the same way that any other person applies for a job at the Danish labour market. First, you have to find vacant IGU positions that you want to apply for. You often have to apply for more than one job before you end up with a job offer.

Here at jobindex.dk you can start searching for vacant IGU jobs. We have advised Danish companies to put “Integration job”, “IGU” or “Erhvervsintegration” in the job ad text. You can start your job search with these words.

Ekspert: Drop dit ligegyldige CV-fyld

Skal du have dine sprogkundskaber, IT-kompetencer, udlandsophold og civilstand med på CV’et? Eller er det ligegyldig information, som blot irriterer arbejdsgiveren og sikrer din ansøgning en plads i nej-bunken?

Application

Sådan undgår du typiske brølere i din ansøgning

Nogle vendinger virker geniale i din ansøgning. Ja, ligefrem unikke. Du har en klar forventning om, at lige præcis de linjer vil skille dig ud i bunken af andre ansøgere til dit drømmejob. Men … mange bruger de samme klichéer og laver de samme fejl i deres ansøgninger, og de er værd at undgå.

Job interview
Tests

Jobsamtalen fra A-Z

Det er meget udbredt, at du som kandidat bliver bedt om at gennemføre en personligheds- og færdighedstest inden jobsamtalen. De fleste HR-folk er enige om, at udfaldet af dine tests aldrig er fuldkommen afgørende for dit kandidatur til stillingen. Testene er derimod et godt dialogværktøj til en jobsamtale. Dermed ikke sagt, at langt de fleste kandidater er enige om, at det godt kan være en lidt ubehagelig øvelse.
