Career Advisor at the Adult Education Center

Are you a career advisor looking to work in a central career guidance team with other advisors? With us, you will guide adults before and during their studies in municipal adult education.

Your Responsibilities

At the Adult Education Center (CFV), you will be part of a centralized guidance function where we work closely in a team of career advisors. Unlike many other career advisor positions where one often works alone in a school unit, our operation is based on sharing expertise, methods, and responsibility. You will work independently in your meetings with applicants, but you will always have the support of a collective group of colleagues and collaborate closely with functions such as admissions, management, and our various educational providers.

Your main task is to guide adults primarily before their studies in municipal adult education. Since our target group is heterogeneous, ranging from experienced students needing quick e-guidance to individuals requiring extensive support to achieve self-sufficiency, a breadth in your professional role is required. This means alternating between individual guidance sessions, group information, mapping for validation, and follow-up of individual study plans.

An exciting part of the position is our shared focus on digital innovation. We are currently developing guidance via VR so that applicants can try out professions digitally, and we are integrating AI as a tool in our daily work. Here, you are expected to be an active part of the team's development work to create modern and target group-adapted guidance. As our mission is changeable and driven by political goals and labor market needs, you thrive in an environment where we adapt together to new circumstances at short notice.

Your Workplace

The Adult Education Center is a unit that gathers the municipal adult education's overarching functions and authority in Linköping municipality and provides conditions for effective management, governance, and operational follow-up.

The Adult Education Center is tasked with ensuring the quality of the education provided by the educational providers contracted with Linköping municipality.

Who We Are Looking For
