Be Part of Shaping the Future of Vocational Education!

Praktiska Gymnasiet is the largest in Sweden in upper secondary vocational education. We strive to provide our youth with the best possible conditions to enter the workforce early. We know that a good vocational education results in jobs immediately after graduation, but also a sense of future hope. We take our societal role very seriously, and our vision is to equip our students with the tools to help change the labor market for the better. Our vision is reflected in our values.

AMBITION is about having high expectations of each other and our students. Through POWER, we collaborate around each student regardless of our roles. FLAME reflects our pride in the important societal responsibility we have as vocational educators in Sweden.

A vocational education opens up opportunities to create one's own life, which develops society as a whole. We want to contribute to societal benefits in this way, for youth who have their sights set on a specific profession, but also for youth who do not yet have a clear plan. Our role is to show the way by inspiring and educating the workforce of the future. This is something that both society and our students benefit from.
