Karriärvägledning

What?

Career guidance gives you the opportunity to think about what occupations you might choose. You receive support from a study and vocational guidance counsellor from one of our providers in order to find your path to work or studies. Together, we map out what skills and strengths you have, what experience you have acquired and in which occupational fields these could be beneficial. While doing this we come up with a plan for your future.

For whom?

Career guidance is for people who need support to map out which occupation suits them and what steps are needed to get there. For example, this might involve job experience or training. We tailor the career guidance to your needs. If you do not speak Swedish, you are given support in your native language.

How it works

• Arbetsförmedlingen assesses whether career guidance is a service that is suitable for you.
• You participate in career guidance at a rate of between 50 and 100 per cent. You can combine career guidance with, for example, work, SFI or another Arbetsförmedlingen programme.
• You are in contact with a study and vocational guidance counsellor from one of our providers.
• You can go on study visits at workplaces and on training programmes. You are also able to meet people who tell you what it is like to work in an occupation and about the path to get there.
• The goal of career guidance is a plan for your path towards work or studies.
• You participate in the service for two months.
