What is First Job Copenhagen?

For many foreigners, the barrier between them and a good job is that they don't have the basic knowledge of how to approach the Danish job searching process, and lack an awareness of their value in the Danish labor market. Business House Copenhagen offers a free of charge 5-day course that aims at giving international talents a greater chance of getting the right job in Denmark.

The Firstjob course consists of a 1-day information meeting and a 5-day course - both in English.

1-day information meeting in English

During the day you will get information about different services that Copenhagen Municipality offers expats such as Leisure Guide, volunteer oppertunities, entrepreneurship, unions and more.

When you have participated at this information meeting – then you start a 5-day career course on the following week. It is compulsory to attend in this information meeting before you can participate in 5-day career course.
