problemstillinger i virksomheden

Danish to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Jordbrugsteknolog (AK) Degree
I'm not sure if it's this word giving me troubles, but I can't seem to get the following sentence to read smoothly:

"Den uddannede skal kunne 1) arbejde nationalt og internationalt med problemstillinger i virksomheden og i forbindelse med rådgivning inden for jordbrug..."

I've translated as:

"The successful student shall be able to 1) work nationally and internationally with professional issues and in connection with providing guidance within the Agro Business and Landscape Management..."

I've tried different ways of working problemstillinger i virksomheden and the rest, but still not finding the magic phrase. Any suggestions? (This all appears in an explanation of the programme's objectives.)

Don't put suggestions in the discussion section. Don't post suggestions in the discussion section. It defeats the purpose of providing suggestions. You should provide an answer. By the way good suggesstion!

issue

Problemstillinger often refers to a set of openended questions. In this particular instance, you could possibly use "major questions within the industry" or "key issues within the industry."

could also use "on issues" rather than "with issues" to add a bit more precision
Example sentence:

The graduate must be able to 1) work nationally and internationally with issues within the industry and in connection with agricultural consulting

'issues' would be my first choice. This is a possible alternative.
