How it works

Arbetsförmedlingen assesses and decides whether an intensive internship would be suitable for you.
We discuss with you and agree on which profession or industry would suit you.
We plan and structure the internship period with clear goals for how you will develop your occupational skills.
You will be supported by a supervisor who has regular meetings with you and Arbetsförmedlingen.
When the internship is completed, you will receive a certificate from the employer stating what knowledge and skills you have gained during your internship.

The internship can last for six months with the possibility of an extension for a further three months.
