Jobbsprånget opens the door to the Swedish job market

Two years ago, Bharathi moved from India to Kramfors. She followed her husband, who had been recruited by Nordhydraulic in Kramfors. Like Bharathi, accompanying partners of highly educated professionals recruited to Sweden often have an academic background of their own. For them, Jobbsprånget can be a valuable pathway into the Swedish job market.

International talent attraction with the Swedish Institute

Attracting international talent is an important part of strengthening Sweden’s competitiveness and meeting skills needs across the labour market.

The Swedish Institute (SI) works to strengthen Sweden’s attractiveness as a destination for international talent. Through its Work in Sweden initiative, SI connects Swedish employers and organisations with international professionals and supports efforts to promote Sweden as a place to build a career. The work is carried out in collaboration with Swedish embassies and other partners around the world.

One part of this work is creating opportunities for Swedish companies and regions to meet international talent in different markets. Events, networks and targeted activities can help employers showcase their career opportunities, build relationships and reach skills that may be difficult to find in Sweden.
