In 2008 Copenhagen University College of Engineering, with an allocation of 1.5 million DKK from the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs, launched the project, Foreign engineering skills in Denmark - retention and recruitment.

Three Kick Starting Your Working Life coursed have been offered. The first dating back to autumn 2008, the second to spring 2009 and finally the third course which starts September 2009.

Professional guidance is offered to international students, graduates and foreign job-seeking engineers, who are motivated for seeking job in a Danish Company.

In the course, Kick Start Your Working Life in Denmark sessions and individual confrontations are provided, which give the individual participants tools to find their future career development.

Participants are offered the possibility to test their personality through the authorized and approved Job Match Analysis.
