Naalakkersuisut is working to ensure long-term positive development in the labor supply in order to promote employment across various sectors and increase self-sufficiency in society. It is Naalakkersuisut’s responsibility to ensure that the Greenlandic labor market develops in a positive direction, both in the long term and the short term. 

The labor shortage in the country poses a challenge to the labor market, and because of this shortage, the private sector and the public sector are recruiting workers from outside the country. One of Naalakkersuisut’s objectives is to improve the integration of people who move here.

We offer a position in an exciting workplace where operations and development go hand in hand. There is an opportunity for thorough training, as well as the chance to make a difference in the development of work processes through dialogue with stakeholders.

The

department handles a wide range of tasks, from preparing policy proposals for Naalakkersuisut and Inatsisartut, to labor market development, analyses, data processing, and ongoing case management in the department’s areas of responsibility, as well as communications work regarding all initiatives.
