Our organisation
Arbetsförmedlingen is one of Sweden’s largest government agencies and has offices all over Sweden. Our highest decision-making body is the Board of Directors which includes the Director General. Both the Board of Directors and the Director General are appointed by the Government.
We can be found throughout the country
Arbetsförmedlingen has just over 10,000 employees. Some of us work at the head office in Solna in Stockholm but most of us work in other parts of the country.
National Government Service Centres
We collaborate with the National Government Service Centre (Statens servicecenter), which means that we are available to jobseekers and employers at National Government Service Centre in towns throughout Sweden. At the National Government Service Centres we collaborate with other government agencies in order to offer services and help with different issues through the same office.

Operational activities
Activities at the national level are divided into two fields of activity, both of which have the assignment of providing support to job seekers and employers.
- The Initial Support division provides support to jobseekers who are more self-reliant and helps employers find and connect with the right skills, primarily through self-service solutions.
- The Coordinated Support division focuses on job seekers with significant support needs and has close cooperation with employers, particularly those who are open to hiring people who find it more difficult to get a job.
Board of directors
The Board is our highest decision-making body and is appointed by the Government. The board makes decisions in matters that
- cover the entire organisation
- are of particular strategic importance.
Senior management group
The Senior Management Group works with fundamentally important and strategic matters. The members of the group are appointed by the Director-General and meet once a week.
