The Danish unemployment system is complicated and as an international, it can be hard to navigate inside it and become aware of what your rights are as an employee in Denmark.  If you are an international who is not yet a member of an unemployment fund (Danish: A-kasse) and unsure if you should join one, this webinar is for you! Together with representatives from two different Danish unemployment funds, our speaker will cover topics such as:

  • What an A-kasse/unemployment fund is and how they work
  • Why they are important
  • What they can do for you
  • Pros and cons of joining/not joining one

Speakers: 
Katrine Engelsen, Magistrenes A-kasse
Christian Raffing, Akademikernes A-kasse

There will be time for questions. The webinar is aimed at all international PhD students and Junior Researchers at Aarhus University.
The webinar is free; however, registration is needed.
