Denmark has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to address its labour shortage, introducing visas for a fresh array of skilled professionals.
The Danish government’s proactive move aims to bolster sectors facing a scarcity of workforce, encompassing diverse fields such as welding, bricklaying, mechanics, teaching, and more.
To combat the prevailing labor scarcity, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) has identified a pressing need for 72 highly educated individuals and 38 highly skilled workers across various roles within the country. Beyond this, the government has highlighted demand in critical areas, including scientists, engineers, medical professionals, educators, economists, IT specialists, architects, pharmacists, accountants, and more.
The recruitment drive extends to positions like insurance agents, sales consultants, account managers, customs officers, real estate agents, property managers, and medical secretaries. Additionally, Denmark is actively seeking professionals in specialized roles such as landscape gardening, precision mechanics, electricians, and cabinetmakers.
In a bid to attract top-tier talent, Denmark has adopted a flexible approach by easing immigration rules and lowering the minimum salary requirement, thereby expanding the work permit fast-track scheme. This strategic move positions Denmark as an inviting destination for skilled individuals seeking new opportunities in a variety of sectors.
