Direktør Jes Christiansens Mindefond - General Manager Jes Christiansen's Memorial Foundation

General Manager Jes Christiansen's Memorial Foundation grant

You will receive a grant to help fund further education or training that you undertake whilst working. These are courses designed to enhance your current skills, not a first degree. The foundation does not disclose the amount of the grant. It was established in 1964 in memory of Jes Peter Christiansen, the long-standing manager of the high-voltage substation in Aabenraa. It supports people working in the Danish energy sector in South Jutland.

Who can apply

• Your job: You work in electricity generation, electricity distribution or a closely related field, including the green energy transition.
• Where you work: Your place of work is in southern South Jutland (Sydsønderjylland) in Denmark.
• What the money is for: A further education or training course taken alongside work, not a first university or college degree.
• Field of study: Any subject is permitted, provided it forms part of a continuing professional development programme.
• Results: The committee decides on the awarding of honours based on your academic achievements.

How to apply

Applications are submitted via EUC Syd, the vocational training centre in Sønderborg. EUC Syd collects the applications and puts forward candidates to the foundation’s board. The application deadline is 15 October each year, and you can expect a response in November.
