Dear DCCC friends and colleagues,

Happy New Year to all of you,

I hope you somehow managed to take a few days off around what we in the west call new year, well knowing that the big new year celebrations in China are still ahead of us, but possibly with the same limitations to travelling as we currently experience, which mean staying at home enjoying the company of family and friends.

At the end of 2020 DCCC East China managed to hold its first “Food and Beverage WG” meeting attended by 21 companies representing production, trading and serving. Numerous ideas were brought forward to be discussed in future meetings, incl. but not limited to: food safety, distribution, sustainability, etc.

Our “Finance, Legal/IT WG” is also up running, so now we hope also to kickstart our “HR WG” shortly. Should you be interested in joining any of these work groups then please contact the DCCC East China office, for you to be added to the participant list (DCCC membership required) .

DCCC East revised the membership fee structure for 2021 back in April of 2020 during our AGM. The larger companies will pay a little more and the smaller a little less. We have then added a middle group as well, to be fully in line with DCCC North’s tariffs. Just to remind you what was agreed at the AGM

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG RETURNING DANES 

A new career building network, Young Global Danes, is being launched by Danes Worldwide. It is supported by a grant from the Tuborg Foundation of DKK 250,000.

Backed by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and trade organization Danish Shipping, the initiative meets a strong demand among young Danes aged 18 to 26 who live abroad and want to move to or return to Denmark to study or work but find that they lack insight into the business environment in Denmark.

The network is intended to help such young people settle in Denmark and leverage their skills in the country’s international job market. The grant support enables delivery of a thorough introduction to job markets and career opportunities in Denmark for global Danes with highly desirable intercultural experience. Young Global Danes will be working to bring employers and candidates together through site visits at Danish companies and through educational events covering career opportunities, competencies, and workplace culture.
