The section consists of two distinct teams plus one section chief, who together number 11 colleagues. Both teams are based in Karup, where we are located together with several of the center's other HR sections.

We are a mixed group of military and civilian staff who value a dynamic daily life where well-being and good sparring are prioritized. The section's tasks are many and varied, which means you will be able to apply your expertise broadly in the section and in the center.

About the position

As an advisor in the upskilling pool you already help union-employed military personnel to strengthen their competencies and opportunities for a civilian education. This is to improve employees' opportunities for a further career in the Armed Forces or on the broader job market.

The position is an administrative broad role that involves both advising in the application process, advising on possible education programs that can receive funding. You will daily be in contact with the Armed Forces' managers, military personnel and colleagues from the Personnel Command.

In your first period as an advisor in the upskilling pool you will be involved in developing the administrative work around the application and allocation process. Later, by virtue of your knowledge of the upskilling pool, you will act as a knowledge bank for the Personnel Command's HR Partners and decentralized career counselors.

Examples of tasks you may undertake in your first period in the section

• plan and carry out inspiration activities about the upskilling pool at the Defence service locations and support HR partners and career counselors so they are equipped to advise managers and employees about the possibilities in the civilian education system.
• you will also help build and maintain a SharePoint site with relevant inspiration and materials.
• be present at service locations to provide sparring to HR partners and career counselors in concrete cases.
• build and maintain the contact between the Armed Forces and relevant civilian educational institutions such as vocational schools, VIA University, universities, etc.
• answer inquiries from Defence chiefs, military personnel and HR Partners.

Furthermore you will be assigned a mentor at the start of employment who supports you throughout the training period.

• communicate clearly and are comfortable standing in front of larger groups
• are curious and eager to dive into rules, processes and new areas
