A-kasse and fagforening: What is it and (why) do you need it?

Join Lisbeth Lintz Christensen, President of Akademikerne (AC) – The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations – as she explains the important role of A-kasse (unemployment insurance funds) and fagforening (trade unions) in Denmark, specifically for international citizens. This talk will demystify how A-kasse can provide financial security during periods of unemployment and the vital support offered by fagforening in protecting your rights, negotiating contracts, and advancing your career.

Whether you’re new to Denmark or have been living here for a while, this session will give you a clear understanding of how these systems work, and why they are essential for securing your professional future.
