Why Yrkesdörren?
The path into the Swedish labor market is sometimes unnecessarily difficult. In a labor market where every other company recruits via contacts, a professional network is often crucial. It creates a gap between established and foreign-born Swedes.
Yrkesdörren is an integration initiative that aims to bridge that gap through meetings and speed up the path of foreign-born people into the Swedish labour market. These meetings contribute to a mutual exchange of knowledge and experience that broadens networks. For the non-established, a meeting is also an opportunity to learn more about social codes, see their opportunities and increase their self-confidence in the labour market. Our vision is a labour market where people with different backgrounds and experiences find their right place.
