Can I get help with wage subsidies, flexible work and internship schemes?

There are various possible schemes in the field of labor market:

• Company internship
  Company internship is a scheme where an unemployed person is an intern in your company. This gives the unemployed a chance to test and / or strengthen their skills and is completely free of salary and insurance costs for the company. After the internship period, the company can assess the possibilities for a permanent employment or employment in a job with a wage subsidy. The internship can last up to four weeks for members of an unemployment insurance fund and up to 13 weeks for cash benefit recipients and citizens who lack work experience or have been unemployed for a long time. After a specific assessment, it is possible to extend the internship period beyond the 13 weeks. It is possible to receive a subsidy for aids and work tools during the company internship, just as it is possible to buy an employee for a mentor function. 
   
• Wage subsidy
  The wage subsidy scheme allows both healthy and sick unemployed to be employed in your company with a subsidy from the job center to compensate for the fact that the unemployed are not up to full benefit from day one. 
  In private companies, the employee is employed on general terms and conditions, but must have been unemployed for more than 6 months. The unemployed person can be employed with a wage subsidy for up to 12 months.
  In public workplaces, the salary can not exceed the unemployment benefit rate. Working hours depend on wages and are determined by the employer. 
  The form for applying for a wage subsidy can be found at: www.jobnet.dk/blanketter

• Mentoring scheme
  The job center can provide support for the hiring of a mentor. It is either an employee of the company who is released for a few hours to support and train another employee, or an external consultant.

• Flexjob
  The company can hire a person who can only work a few hours a week and thus can only solve minor tasks. The scheme also covers current employees who, due to limitations in their ability to work, transfer to flex jobs. See the database of available flex workers here.
   
• Students and Apprentices - Talent6400
  As a company, you can create both student and apprenticeship places. You get a 'here-and-now' resource under flexible working conditions, where you can shape the future employee to your needs. Order a talent on www.talent6400.dk
   
• Skills jobs
  Your company can apply for grants to upgrade the qualifications of new employees who are hired from unemployment in ordinary jobs. Grants can be applied for for all types of shorter qualification courses, and this can both help to expand the field of applicants and provide an opportunity to target the qualification to the company's specific needs.
   
• Integration of refugees
  Help integrate refugees by letting newcomers solve work tasks in your company. The municipality's integration program typically consists of a course with Danish education and company internship or wage subsidy. The integration program can last up to 3 years and is on average 37 hours per week.
   
• Special support for the disabled
  Jobcenter Sønderborg can offer individual assistance, which is adapted to the individual employee's special needs. The assistance can also be offered to new employees and graduates.
  Among other things, we provide free advice and guidance, help to investigate the need for aids, work tools and layout of the workplace and grants for personal assistance, where another employee at the workplace relieves the employee in relation to the specific work tasks that have become more difficult to continue. in full. 

• Social exemption card
  By hiring an employee with a social exemption card who can earn DKK 20.000 tax-free each year, you help to take on social responsibility in the local community, and you make a big difference for another person. At the same time, you get to solve specific tasks in the company that are not normally solved, or that take time away from your core task. This can be, for example, clean-up, disinfection, waste management, garden and outdoor tasks, etc.
