Council for International Talent
The Council for International Talent aims to unite Danish companies and local communities to address barriers to talent retention and integration.
This council acts as a collaborative platform to influence policy making, share best practices, and launch initiatives that enhance Denmark’s ability to attract and retain international professionals.
Internationals in Denmark and their challenges
According to the yearly study by Internations, Denmark continues to be one of the toughest countries in the world to “settle-in” and “make local friends”.
Moreover, Dansk Industri found out that more than half of Danish companies expect to face a labour shortage until 2030. At the same time only 44 percent of international students stay in Denmark after finishing their studies.
Some of the main challenges in recruiting and retaining international talent in Denmark are cultural integration, workplace diversity, and bureaucratic hurdles.
