For many people coming to Aalborg and region North Denmark, it can be a challenge to get to know the local community and establish a network that would lead to better knowledge about specific interests and career opportunities. IHND Secretariat and IUVENIS have developed a program where newcomers can meet local volunteers that will help them establish links, develop friendships and get knowledge to overcome those obstacles.

This program gives expats the possibility to choose between a career host and a cultural host. While career hosts focuses on career mentoring, job opportunities and Danish labor market, the cultural host will introduce expats to cultural life, local activities and give them a chance to make new friends and acquaintances.

SPOUSE SPACE

Spouse Space is an initiative oriented towards expats’ spouses and/or accompanying families.

Join our network for accompanying spouses and partners where we host monthly meetings focusing on what the needs are in order to find a good life in North Denmark

GLOBAL OUTLOOK STRATEGY PROGRAMME

The Global Outlook Strategy Program (GOSP) program is developed with the purpose of educating North Danish companies in thinking more globally, seeing the possibilities within globalization and in addition, to make them better suited to operate and compete globally.

GOSP focuses on teaching companies from North Denmark to think globally and to see global growth opportunities both in regards to the international qualified workforce in North Denmark and abroad, but also in regards to exporting opportunities abroad. INHDS Secretariat is responsible for GOSP initiatives such as courses within the topics of attracting and retaining international qualified workers, globalization and global mindset, diversity management and exporting. International House North Denmark has a coordinating role in finding participating company owners through its network and also while maintaining its respective marketing. The project partners assemble the team of speakers for the different courses and help setting up the seminars. See the press release here Pressemeddelelse efter Fyraftensseminar

I have been attending the Spouse Space meeting since its beginning. I believe this project to be very innovative in the sense that it provides a platform for international spouses to meet, interact and network. The staff at IHND also takes great care to make everybody feel at home and make the meetings participatory. I always look forward to this monthly meeting and appreciate the agenda-based structure. We know the theme beforehand and can thus prepare a bit too. I've got to know people from other backgrounds through this group and it helps a lot regarding networking. Another big help, I believe, is that the meetings are very informal and provide a lot of freedom to participants. Members are welcome to come with their children too, which is very helpful. Job searching takes its own time, but this group keeps the motivation alive.

I have been in Denmark for one year now, as I moved to Aalborg to join my husband who is working at a Danish company. I am educated as a computer engineer, but when I came to Aalborg I had to switch gears both in terms of my personal and professional life. It was difficult to get a foothold here when you don't have any friends. International House North Denmark's Spouse Space is this amazing place where I don't feel alone, a place where I see other people just like me trying to find their way. I also get to meet people who found their way and are coming back to lend a helping hand. Everyone working there have a zest for life and are always looking for ways to make the atmosphere "hyggelig". It's a place where people pull out all the stops to help the spouses who are new to Denmark.
