KEA as a workplace
When you become part of KEA, you will be working at one of our locations in either Nørrebro, in Nordvest and or in Hellerup.
We use an informal tone, which leaves plenty of room for both professional discussions and humour in everyday worklife.
In total, you get 450 colleagues, of whom about 240 are teachers and the other employees are responsible for everything that makes everyday life run in a modern educational institution and workplace – study administration, library, finance, communication, IT, HR, and much more.
In addition to the professional qualifications that our employees bring with them, we would very much like our next colleague to be curious, proactive and eager to develop his/her skills as KEA develops.
We appreciate determination, and as an employee at KEA, it should come naturally to you to have an eye for sustainability, technology and business, which are the focus areas of KEA's strategy. The video is in Danish.
Become a teacher
At KEA, we often on the lookout for more teachers for our programmes – we are looking for both permanent teachers and temporary teachers paid on an hourly basis. As a permanent employee, you are employed either as a lecturer or as a senior lecturer.
If you are not already a senior lecturer from another business academy or university college, you will be employed as a lecturer and be enrolled in KEA's period training to become a senior lecturer, which runs over 3 1/2 years. The period training to become a senior lecturer is a professionally designed development course that you will participate in concurrently with your daily assignments as a teacher.
At the period training to become a senior lecturer, you will meet other lecturers across KEA, and there will be ample opportunity for knowledge-sharing and sparring. During your training, you will also receive guidance and have the opportunity to use our facilities for knowledge search, etc.
The period training to become a senior lecturer ends with a written request, which must be assessed positively before you can be hired as a senior lecturer. If, at the start of the employment, you are a senior lecturer assessed according to the 2003 position structure, it is possible to attach a request for senior lecturer assessment cf. Chapter 5 of the Executive Order (BEK No. 673 of 13/05/2020).
TEACHING - DEVELOPMENT - RELATIONS
Part of the task as a teacher is to integrate teaching tasks with development work and engage in close cooperation with the business community.
Common to all teachers at KEA is their solid professional knowledge and experience. The teacher's knowledge of practice is brought into play in the teaching in order to make the teaching as realistic as possible. The teacher maintains his/her connection with the business community by e.g. participating in relevant networks, so that we keep up to date with developments on an ongoing basis.
Of course, the teaching task is in focus, but teachers at KEA have a threefold task consisting of:
- Teaching
- Research/Development
- Relations
This means that as a teacher you develop your own competencies at the same time as you maintain the connection with your professional field and the industry in which you have your background. As a teacher, you can also participate in research and development activities that create value for companies and communities in different areas.
In this way, the job as a teacher provides a varied everyday life with challenging tasks – while providing our students with a qualified and up-to-date teaching.
