What's New

Spouse Survey - please share with your network!
We are very proud to announce the first “Spouse Survey” of international accompanying spouses and partners in Denmark.

The survey is a joint project developed by Spousecare and The Think Tank DEA to learn more about the group of accompanying spouses who come to Denmark each year – what areas are important to address, how life is as an accompanying spouse in Denmark, and what can be done to make settling in Denmark better in the long term. The survey is part of the Copenhagen Talent Bridge project.

This is the first qualified research study ever done in Denmark of this group. To obtain the most complete results, it is important that as many spouses as possible take part in the survey. We hope that you will help us and share the link below with all accompanying spouses and partners within your organisation and network. Thank you!

The results of the survey will be published on our website at the end of October. If you would like more information about the survey you are welcome to contact us via email.
 
Thank you for helping us to reach accompanying spouses and partners all over Denmark!


 
Join the Spouse Career Fair 3 October 2013
A unique opportunity to get in contact with the highly skilled talent that is already in Denmark.
Following the success of the Spouse Career Fair last year it is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the second Spouse Career Fair, as part of the Copenhagen Talent Bridge project.
The purpose of these fairs is to match highly skilled knowledge workers already living in Denmark with relevant open positions in companies, organisations and universities. Visiting candidates are generally very highly skilled, accompanying spouses or partners of international specialists, researchers and talent working in Denmark.

There is only one condition to attending - we ask that company representatives bring with them a number of relevant open positions aimed at international talent. These may be permanent positions, projects, freelance work or subsidised work placements.

The website is now open for registration of participants. You can register your company by sending an email to info@spousecare.dk - first come, first serve.
The fair is sponsored by the European Social Fund and Vækstforum Hovedstaden and is part of the Copenhagen Talent Bridge. Participation is free! 
For more info, please visit our website www.spousecareerfair.dk

”We were positively surprised by the quality of the candidates at the Spouse Career Fair. There really were a lot of highly educated and skilled candidates among the visitors”. Team Leader HR, Marianne Benfeldt, GN Store Nord
