Vestas Spouse CV Booklet

Dear reader Vestas Spouse Community is very pleased to provide you with this Booklet. In this booklet you can find a number of CVs of accompanying spouses, whose profiles and qualifications vary greatly. Vestas Spouse CV Booklet is intended to encourage you to consider hiring international, highly-skilled talents that are already in Denmark by drawing attention to the valuable resources among the accompanying spouses. Vestas spouses are typically highly educated, who have put their own career on hold to join their partners across the world.

They all come from different cultural and educational backgrounds, but what they all have in common are the constant challenges of relocation to a new country. It is our hope that you will be able to make the best use of the provided CVs. Do not hesitate to contact us, should you need further information or have any questions.

International employees in Denmark. Why focus on the spouses? The emergence of global economy has facilitated the migration of highly skilled specialists to Denmark from all over the world. The country is to be transformed into a knowledge society that urges the increased need for international specialists in the years to come. In order to secure that Denmark stays competitive on the global market, governmental and private organizations need to cooperate in creating an environment that secures the welfare of the international families and allows the accompanying spouses to reach their personal and professional goals. As a global company with multicultural workforce and 22 000 employees all over the world, Vestas is highly appreciating the experience and competences of international employees that bring value to the organization and Denmark. Vestas believes that a multicultural workforce results in nothing but improved innovation and development of a global mindset. Therefore Vestas is continuously focusing on strengthening the cultural diversity among its employees by developing the concept of Vestas International Employee Excellence. Its main objective is to facilitate the process of attracting, recruiting

and retaining the most talented and skilled employees coming from all corners of the world. Vestas has long realized the need to place focus on the accompanying spouses and in this regard, we have established an internal network for both wives and husbands of Vestas international employees. Vestas Spouse Community is aiming to assist accompanying spouses to settle in to Denmark in order to create the best environment for the entire international family. One of the services of Vestas Spouse Community is to provide assistance in the job searching process. As such we have now initiated the creation of this Vestas Spouse CV Booklet that is intended to serve as an eye-opener revealing the great potential held by the accompanying spouses.
