Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Stockholm is flourishing as the country's leading growth region. We work for a labor market where everyone can find their place – where employers find the right skills and where people get the opportunity to enter or return to working life. We support the journey of Stockholmers towards work or studies through labor market initiatives and adult education.

This is Jobbtorg Stockholm

Jobbtorg Stockholm is a department within the labor market administration of the City of Stockholm that works with labor market initiatives.

We provide support to young people and adults who are outside the labor market – through conversations, coaching, collaboration, and educational pathways. We have about 500 employees working in 24 units across the city.

Welcome to the unit for Initiatives and Projects – a part of Jobbtorg Stockholm

The unit for Initiatives and Projects offers services for individuals who due to disabilities, mental health issues, or substance abuse problems need support to obtain and maintain employment.

Our mission

The IPS project for individuals with substance abuse problems is funded by the Coordination Association of the City of Stockholm (FINSAM). Within the project, we support individuals with substance abuse problems to find, obtain, and maintain employment or enter studies.
