Student assistant for international career programs in the Employment-, Integration- and Business Administration – gain insight into a large public organisation

Do you want a student job where you come close to international job seekers and gain experience with participant contact, administration and coordination – while also seeing how a politically governed organization operates in practice?

In the Employment, Integration and Business Administration, we run five career programs that help international students, accompanying spouses and other international citizens get closer to the Danish labor market.

As a student assistant you will be part of all the things that make the programs work day-to-day – from contact with participants and follow-up to teaching days, workshops and larger events.

We are looking for someone who can both manage the details and lift their eyes from the to-do list. You enjoy getting things done, but also want to understand what they are part of.

What will you do?

You won't have one kind of workday. Some days start with a participant list and end with an event at Copenhagen City Hall. Others are more about emails, surveys, statistics, follow-up or material for participants. You will, among other things,

• keep track of attendance, no-shows and follow-up
• have contact with mentees and other participants
• help with teaching days, workshops and events
• work with surveys, statistics and data registration
• solve administrative tasks across our five career programs.

You will get to know all five programs, so you can help where needed, even when the day takes a different turn than planned.

Who are you?

Maybe you study political science, social sciences, international studies, public administration, communication or something completely different. The name of the degree isn’t the most important. It’s the way you approach the work. We are especially looking for someone who

• are structured and have an eye for detail
• take responsibility and see your tasks through
• can stay calm when several things happen at once
• thrive with both fixed routines and days when something new lands in the inbox
• take initiative and ask when something is unclear
• are approachable and good at communicating with different people
• have good IT skills and easily learn new systems.

It is important that you want to work with international job seekers and help create good conditions around their path into the Danish labor market.

We emphasise that you master both Danish and English at a professional level, as both languages are an important part of daily life with us. We speak Danish internally in the team/organization, and all our systems are in Danish, while the teaching, our external materials and communication with our international learners take place in English. It is therefore important that you can speak and write professionally in both languages.

What will you gain?

You gain experience in coordination, participant contact, administration, data registration and follow-up. But you also get the opportunity to see how a large public and politically governed organization operates from the inside.

You will get close to the collaboration between teachers, project managers and administrative staff and gain insight into how five career programs are kept running, and how different professional disciplines and tasks must play together in practice. This can be relevant experience if you later want to work with e.g. public administration, employment, integration, HR, international relations or coordination.
