Onboarding

Even once the new employee has started, the job isn’t quite done yet. We at Welcome House are happy to help with onboarding—though what that looks like in practice varies from case to case. Get in touch, and we’ll discuss how Welcome House can best support you.

The “Welcome to Skövde” brochure is suitable for both the recruitment process and the onboarding of new employees who are moving here.

Accompanying family

A successful recruitment isn’t just about the person who gets the job—it’s about the whole family that comes along with them. At Welcome House, we can support you in welcoming the new hire’s partner, connect them with the right contacts for job searches, and help the family navigate the school system and community life in Skövde.

Networks and Collaboration

Welcome House participates in networks and partnerships related to workforce development and labor immigration at the local, regional, and national levels.
