Where can I search for a job?Ukrainians who have submitted an application for a residence permit in accordance with the Special Act, and who have had fingerprints and personal photographs taken, have the opportunity to work before they are granted the residence permit. However, the faster access to the labor market does not apply if it is obvious that you are not covered by the Special Act. If you are offered a job while the case is being processed, you must send the Danish Immigration Service a copy of your employment contract, as it may have an impact on where in Denmark you will live if you receive a residence permit. There is a great deal of attention paid to ensuring Ukrainians' access to the labor market in Denmark and therefore the government, the social partners, KL and the Danish Regions have joined forces and formed a partnership for Ukrainians in jobs. Among other things, the partnership will focus on: Rapid competence clarification, job banking, opportunities for Danish language education, focus on upskilling and opportunities for IGU courses, etc. The booklets Your path to a job in Denmark can be a good place to start if you are new to Denmark and would like to know more about how to enter the Danish labor market.
