Vacant job

In Gothenburg, everyone should be able to grow. Freely and independently. This requires that more people gain the skills that match the needs of the labor market. And thereby jobs, self-sufficiency, and the opportunity to contribute to society. Regardless of how the journey looks, everyone should have a place in our city. That is why the Department of Labor Market and Adult Education exists.

We see the potential in every person and open pathways forward. By coordinating Gothenburg City's labor market initiatives and ensuring municipal adult education, we set direction and act as a hub for collaboration. Together with engaged entrepreneurs, academia, international companies, civil society, and other parts of the city, we work with collective strength towards common goals. This is how we empower people and one of Sweden's largest labor markets. We open opportunities every day.

We are now looking for you who want to make a difference!
