We need more women in the construction industry! Clearly, we in the industry have not succeeded in creating change and proving the opposite – that our industry is for everyone. At Peab, we have therefore decided to take the lead in seriously making our industry more equal. That’s why we have started Byggåret – our apprenticeship program for women. During the program, you who have the interest, drive, and curiosity will learn everything required for a career in one of Sweden's most fun and sought-after professions. No prior knowledge is required. Additionally, you will receive a salary throughout the training. Now it’s time for the third round of Byggåret, and we have about 25 apprenticeship positions in 16 locations, from Kiruna in the north to Malmö in the south. The program starts on September 1, 2025.

 

What does it mean to be an apprentice?

Being an apprentice means that you both work and study at the same time. The job is full-time, and during working hours, you will also take a vocational theoretical course that lasts throughout the year. As an apprentice, you have a supervisor at the workplace, and together you will work on one or more Peab projects. One day a week is set aside for your studies. During Byggåret, you will complete basic training aimed either at carpenters or road and civil engineering workers. In some locations, we only offer apprenticeship positions as carpenters, in others only as road and civil engineering workers. In a few locations, we have positions in both areas. Read more at www.byggaret.se (http://www.byggaret.se) about the different professions.

 

After your basic training, your qualification period as an apprentice continues for an additional 36 months before you can obtain your professional certificate. All of this is regulated by the Vocational Training Agreement and the jointly organized organization of the Construction Industry's Vocational Board, BYN.

Who should apply for Byggåret?

This is an initiative to bring more women into the construction industry and our journey towards a more equal industry.
