Skövde Career Program

The program is aimed at international professionals with advanced degrees, accompanying family members, and master’s students at the University of Skövde who are actively looking for a job or plan to do so within the next 12 months. It is especially aimed at those of you who truly see a future in Skövde or another municipality in Skaraborg. 

Skövde Career Program is a self-development program where you are at the center. Here you get the tools, insights and inspiration - but the development is based on your own commitment. You are responsible for absorbing the content, driving your process forward and putting the lessons learned into practice.

Through lectures from external experts, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Swedish labor market, business culture, recruitment processes and other things that will help you strengthen your position as a job seeker in Sweden. The program won't get you a job - but it will help you find the right path forward. 

A warm welcome to you!
