This trainee programme is an 18 months long new development programme at Royal Greenland, intended for aspiring young people who are dedicated to pursue a leading position in the fishing industry.In my case, I’ve been lucky enough to be placed at the Category Department of Royal Greenland in Svenstrup, a department that connects the chain of production, sales and marketing. And at this moment, this programme has given me a comprehensive overview of the market of prawns, right from the production in Greenland, to the plants in Denmark and Poland and sales in Scandinavia. This job brought me to various departments and different projects, i.e.:Tromsø & Oslo / Norway:I have been assigned with different projects that cover the market of prawns, for instance the market of shell-on prawns and the competition in Norway. Malmö / Sweden:I had another project about the Swedish retailers, where I spent 3 months in our Malmö sales-office, and made a store check of the different products and prices from other competing companies. Japan / China:Market research and project about raw prawns sold to the Asian market. Manchester / UK:I've spent 3 months in the Manchester sale-office and had a project about the british market of food service and retail.Nuuk / Greenland:Business Development Greenland and a market research about Sea Urchins.Take a look at this link below, to read a small piece of my thoughts of this company and this programme (text in danish)http://www.royalgreenland.com/dk/HR/International-Management-Trainee/M%C3%B8d-Gerth.aspx

Inuit Ataqatigiit Folketingimi was established after the last election (September 2011) for the Danish Parliament, in which MP Sara Olsvig (IA) was elected with a strong mandate (35,5% of the votes from Greenland). Sara established the secretariat, which now consists of five employees under the member of the parliament.I was given the position as student worker for the party, helping/aiding generally in the daily work with the economy and administration, which for instance includes media monitoring, updating website, researchs and preparing for meetings, correspondance and coordination with the calender, schedules and travels.

I have been active at the Greenlandic Students Organisation in all together for 5-6 years. Started as a Board Member and then Chairman in the Copenhagen branch of Avalak. I've been in a negotiating position between 2009-2010 and again 2011-2012 with educational and political authorities. This position is equated with the Chairman's role, just more in a political related position within student related issues. I had a break from the Board during 2010-2011, where I was positioned as consultant for the Board Members of Avalak.
