Here We Are – Building an International Career as a Couple

Moving abroad as a couple means that two careers move with you, and often only one of them comes with a contract. This webinar gives you concrete strategies for planning your international working life together, so both partners can keep growing professionally, wherever you live.

Join us for an introduction to the most common career challenges faced by expat partners and dual-career couples, with Jannie Aasted Skov-Hansen, author of Here We Are: The International Career Couple Handbook.

The webinar will give you inspiration and concrete tools to:

  • Make career decisions as a team and talk openly about whose career takes priority, when, and for how long.
  • Plan your international working life together, from the decision to move to settling in and moving on.
  • Avoid the most common traps for dual-career couples, such as the “trailing partner” role becoming permanent without anyone deciding it should.
  • Explore portfolio careers as a way for accompanying partners to reinvent their working life. Combine freelance work, remote work, projects, teaching, volunteering and entrepreneurship into one flexible career that can move with you.
  • Identify your transferable skills and use them in new ways, in new markets and new roles.
  • Build a professional identity and a network that are not tied to a single job title or country.

The webinar is meant to inspire you, help you have useful career conversations as a couple, and give you the confidence to shape a working life that fits your international life.

Applying insights from Here We Are: The International Career Couple Handbook, this webinar offers practical guidance for couples who want to succeed with international mobility without one partner giving up their career.
