Career and competence development

The Danish Union of Journalists is of the opinion that members should be given the best possible advice about career development and ways to improve their competencies in order to keep up with an industry in rapid development. We therefore go out of our way to offer  individually tailored assistance to members who need advice about their career or a sparring partner to help plan their future working life. In that context, the Danish Union of Journalists organises courses in writing résumés and CV’s, courses for new graduates who need to break into the job market, and courses for freelancers who want to start their own business.

It is important to us that our members have a wide range of opportunities for competence development. Development must be fun and challenging. That is why we created the Danish International Media Festival, which every second year gathers around 1,200 members for two days for a variety of sessions about new trends in the different industries in which our members are employed. The programme at the Danish International Media Festival often includes top international names from the world of journalism, so both Danish and foreign visitors have plenty of reasons to experience the Danish International Media Festival.
