Guidance material for educators, study counsellors and vocational guidance counsellors
What do school pupils know about the labour market and choosing an occupation? Far too little, as they say in various surveys. With this material, you can increase young people’s knowledge about the labour market, occupations and studies.

The content of the guidance material is primarily aimed at pupils in secondary and upper secondary school, but it can of course also be used for adults who need guidance. With facts, lists, tests, discussion questions and information, the pupils can analyse and formulate their ambitions, knowledge and skills. And find out for themselves the route they want to take. We also present what Arbetsförmedlingen does and tell them about the working world and adulthood in general.
How to use the material
The Powerpoint presentation contains four sections with slides. The slides should serve as visual support for the content in the notes field for each image. This means you will get suggestions for what you can talk about on each page. You can use the material as a whole class, in small groups or with individual students/participants.
Each chapter has a task and one or more discussion questions. The idea is to activate pupils/participants, inspire thoughts and provide space for individual reflection. To get the most out of the content in this, the educator, supervisor, study counsellor or vocational guidance counsellor should guide the pupils/participants through the presentation with help from the script in the notes field.
Each chapter is estimated to take approximately 30 - 40 minutes to complete. Depending on how much time you spend on discussions and exercises, the estimated time may vary.
When you click on the link, you will download a Powerpoint presentation. In some cases, your browser is set to open directly in the browser - you can then right-click on the link and choose to save the file to your computer if you prefer.
Go into slideshow mode, when present the episode to participants. Try it in advance and make sure you have access to the notes field when you present, as that is where the actual speech script is located. It is also an good idea to review the presentation yourself, before you present it to others, so that you are somewhat prepared for what the images contain and what other sites we recommend.
Good luck!
