Project Management and Digitalization in Collaboration with Local Businesses

From Unemployed to In-Demand – in Just 8 Weeks

If you are currently unemployed and living in the Municipality of Copenhagen, Improve Business Academy could be your pathway to a new job – just as it has been for 50% of our participants who secure employment within three months. Join Improve Business Academy and enhance your skills in digitalization and project management – in close collaboration with a company of your own choosing.

Unlocking your career move

This program includes a series of workshops designed to equip you with new tools and methods to support your job search. It’s about refining your approach to navigating the current job market and developing a strategy that leads to a signed contract.

But it’s also about how you can position yourself within the specific company you’re collaborating with. Throughout the program, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your professional network via ambassadors affiliated with Improve Business Academy — experienced professionals ready to share insights and practical advice from their industries and roles.
