Network for Young People by Young People<\/strong><\/h6>

Anne Werner Kristensen and Klara Boyum met each other at IBA International Business Academy Kolding through their individual networks. They started UNK in 2022 because they personally felt the need for a career network of peers with whom they could share ideas and experiences. Since Kolding lacked a network focused on young people in their twenties, they created their own through LinkedIn.<\/p>

\u201cIt was important to us that the network was by young people, for young people. And it shouldn\u2019t just be our own network but one for all young people in Kolding,\u201d says Anne.<\/p>

Initially, Anne and Klara handled the planning and coordination of meetings, but now the members have taken over. They take turns organizing and choosing locations, making the network self-sustaining. The dream is for the network to continue for many years, even without Anne and Klara.<\/p>","sticker":{"type":"star","color":"black","position":"bottom\/left"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockText","internalName":"Ungt Netv\u00e6rk Kolding: forberedelse til arbejdsmarkedet","colorTheme":"white","text":"

Preparation for the Job Market<\/strong><\/h6>

Besides offering peer support, UNK also helps prepare and equip young people for the job market through external presentations.<\/p>

\u201cUNK was initially intended for peer support, but it also provides tools for our professional and personal toolkits,\u201d says Anne.<\/p>

The presentations are designed to complement members' individual expertise, covering broad and general tools that benefit everyone, regardless of their background. UNK has already hosted talks on mindset, mindfulness, and motivation, as well as visits from a throw-in coach, an entrepreneur, and a business owner. <\/p>

It was important to Anne and Klara that financial circumstances wouldn\u2019t limit members\u2019 participation. Thus, the generous speakers have donated their time and knowledge without compensation.<\/p>","sticker":{"type":"flower","color":"yellow","position":"top\/left"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockTextImage","internalName":"Ungt Netv\u00e6rk Kolding: \"Held lugter af sved\"","colorTheme":"yellow","layout":"Image\/Text","outputType":"Default","image":4074,"text":"

\u201cLuck Smells Like Sweat\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>

UNK\u2019s first meeting started strong with 40 participants, and Anne and Klara knew they had struck the right chord with their initiative. But it wouldn\u2019t have succeeded without their dedication and hard work.<\/p>

\u201cLuck smells like sweat,\u201d Klara says.<\/p>

This motto not only applies to their effort in building UNK but also to their approach to the job market. Landing that first job requires hard work, dedication, and a solid foundation. Here, members in the network can support one another through peer feedback, new connections, and sharing practical tools.<\/p>

Mads Munk Skovsby and Kristian Tarillon, both part of UNK, reached out to members when planning the student event \u201cCampus Kolding Run\u201d<\/a> in 2024. They received help with flyer distribution, contacts for potential collaborators, and even drone coverage for the event.<\/p>","sticker":{"type":"plus","color":"green","position":"bottom\/right"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockGallery","internalName":"Ungt Netv\u00e6rk Kolding: galleri","gallery":[1287,1288,1289]}],"seo":{"title":"UNK - Ungt Netv\u00e6rk Kolding","ogImage":"","metaDescription":"Young Network Kolding (UNK) is a career network for young people in Kolding between the ages of 20 and 30.
