Yrkesintroduktion för teckenspråkiga

What it is

During the vocational introduction, you will complete practical exercises, skills training and activities at a workplace. This is mixed with theoretical training and jobseeking.

The theoretical part consists of lectures and guidance from one of our suppliers. Self-study, study visits, lectures and information meetings with external parties are also included.

We adapt the content to your individual needs and circumstances.

Who is it for

Vocational introduction for users of sign language is for those who are deaf or have a serious hearing impediment. You must understand Swedish sign language. You need an adapted programme to get a job, start a company or start studies.

How it works

• We at Arbetsförmedlingen assess whether vocational introduction for users of sign language is right for you.
• You can combine the vocational introduction with Swedish for immigrants (sfi) or sign language for immigrants (tfi).
• Several suppliers around the country provide the vocational introduction for users of sign language and it is available in: Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö and Örebro.
• Some parts can be done remotely by agreement with Arbetsförmedlingen.
• A large part of the introduction takes place at a workplace.
• You take part for up to 84 weeks. This is based on full-time participation but we can also adapt this to individual needs.
