Welcome

Are you thinking of going Swedish? Despite the financial crises of recent years, Sweden is one of the least affected countries and in great need of labour.

Do you have what it takes?

Sweden will continue recruiting people with university diplomas within many fields but the future lack of labour will also affect other professions such as electricians, plumbers, welders and construction workers. According to estimates, Sweden will need approximately 60,000 labour immigrants per year. Are you maybe one of them?
