Our Danish salt production site in Mariager has started a cooperation program with the local job center. The background to this initiative is that some young people, for whatever reason, need that extra push in the right direction to improve their chances on the job market. Being unemployed, they usually just need some practical, hands-on experience, personal attention, and a few additional skills to enhance their CV and secure that first job interview.

Improve job opportunities

The aim of the program is to provide people, often young, with training and experience to improve their job opportunities. The program offers internships and work experience with a focus on IT/OT-related work. An internship typically lasts four weeks. During this time, the intern will learn a specific set of skills through hands-on experience. They also receive guidance on how to write a compelling cover letter, spice up their resume, and use tools like LinkedIn and job boards effectively.

Employment

The program has many advantages. For starters, the pass rate is high. From past experience, we can say about 80% of interns find employment within a few months of completing an internship. In addition, these types of initiatives build goodwill within the community and with local authorities.
