Editor's Notes

  1. Large Danish ” iconic” Companies Logoer fra Eures avisen side 11
  2. Gør opmærksom på, at der – udover de viste store virksomheder – findes et stort antal små og mellemstore virksomheder i Danmark + en stor offentlig sektor.
  3. De 4 årstider: sol, regn, sne efterårsfarver
  4. ALMP = Active Labour Market Policy Flexicurity er et begreb, der består i sammenskrivning af de to engelske ord; flexi bility og se curity . Begrebet refererer til en arbejdsmarkedsmodel, der kombinerer fleksibilitet for arbejdsgiverne med flere former for sikkerhed for medarbejdere.] Ved hjælp af en proaktiv arbejdsmarkedspolitik skabes en en høj fleksibilitet for arbejdsgivernes ansættelses- og afskedigelsespolitik, ligesom modellen giver lønmodtagerne større sikkerhed for beskæftigelse - dog ikke nødvendigvis i samme job - og sikkerhed for at kunne opretholde et vist indkomstniveau. Teorien bag modellen er: Ved at øge sikkerheden ved jobskifte bliver lønmodtagerne mere villige til at tage job, der indebærer en høj risiko for afskedigelse. Omvendt betyder den øgede fleksibilitet, at virksomhederne tør ansætte flere medarbejdere.
  5. The Danish labour market is, to a great extent, regulated by the various players in the labour market themselves, as opposed to by legislation. Under the Danish model, employers and employees reach voluntary collective agreements on pay and employment terms. The trade unions play a very important role in the Danish labour market, and there is a high level of union membership among Danish workers. Trade unions assist with cases regarding pay and working conditions and can help in connection with work-related injury cases. Selecting a trade union Consider whether you want to be a member or not. Trade union representatives Many workplaces have trade union representatives who represent the trade union in the workplace and employees interests vis-a-vis management.
  6. As opposed to all other forms of social security in Denmark, unemployment insurance is voluntary. Thus, you are not automatically insured against unemployment. An unemployment insurance policy is taken out from an unemployment insurance fund, also known as an "A-kasse". These are private associations that are associated with trade unions and other professional organisations. Most unemployment insurance funds are affiliated to specific trade unions, but there are also a number of cross-industrial unemployment insurance funds. It is possible to become a member of an unemployment insurance fund without being a member of the associated trade union.
  7. Vis og udlevér folder om ”know your rights…”
  8. Tallene skal altid tjekkes og tilrettes
  9. Se velkomstmappen side 8 – 9 (recognition of foreign traing qualifications)!!! Version 01.06.2010
  10. Motivating factors as above. Decicive for job satisfaction. See WID avis s. 5 For dig som udlænding - Jobsatisfaction kan være høj i starten men kan dale lidt efter nogle måneder >>> almindelig del af tilpasningsprocessen.
  11. Det er kun intro for at gøre opmærksom på hvem vi er, hvor vi kommer fra. Gennemgang af hjemmesiden er placeret til sidst, for at sikre at de forlader lokalet med budskabet om hjemmesidens funktionaliteter, cv, job, info mm. Workindenmark consists of 3 centres, which are placed in Copenhagen, Odense and Aarhus. The centres are part of the Danish Ministry of Employment and the Eures-network (European Employment Services). The main objectives are increasing the volume of qualified candidates wishing to work in Denmark and facilitate the process of matching jobseekers and enterprises.
  12. <talk about 4 focus areas 4 focus areas: Assistance to Danish companies wishing to recruit foreign employees Help to foreign job seekers Assisting newcomers with contacts to the authorities when settling in Denmark – getting the paperwork done Assisting new employees in becoming an integrated part of their work place Objectives To recruit foreign nationals for Danish employers To retain foreign nationals Workindenmark oprates in areas with shortages of manpower and in areas where the market does not work Point out where you can find information about rules and regulations – job seeker and employer Point out See all news – here you can find future courses, events and the like Point out other relevant things - relate to your group HUSK: Indsæt de skærmdump, som du har brug for i dit konkrete oplæg. Ellers tal ud fra forsiden. De efterfølgende skærmdump er eksempler, som kan bruges.
  13. Explain how to fill in a profile at WID. Explain what is visible to other job seekers, and what is visible to Danish employers (name, address and contact details). Explain that you can import information from LinkedIn. Det er vigtigt, at man bruger fritekstfeltet til at beskrive ens vigtigste kompetencer. WID og danske virksomheder kan søge på keywords, som indsættes i denne tekst, så det er vigtigt, at du sørger for at være meget konkret og at du søger for at bruge de ord, som du gerne vil kunne udsøges fra. Hvis du fx er IT specialist i SAP, og der ikke står forkortelsen SAP, så vil din profil ikke komme frem i en udsøgning.
  14. Highly skilled = BA + 5 years of experience, or MA. Easy way to locate jobs aimed at highly skilled.
  15. Wid.dk crawls almost all English language vacancies in Denmark. Good shortcut to find relevant vacancies for skilled professionals.
