Your New Workplace

The Individual and Labor Market Administration (IAF) works to strengthen individuals' opportunities for independence through various initiatives within individual and family care, labor market, and adult education.

The operations are organized into four areas: Work and Income, Children, Youth and Family, Substance Abuse and Mental Health, and Adult Education.

The Work and Income operation is currently in an exciting development phase related to the new activity requirement, where some parts are already established while others are being developed throughout the year. As a job coach, you will have the opportunity to work cross-professionally and contribute to several parts of the operation based on both the participants' needs and the continued development of the operation.

The activity requirement aims to ensure that each participant, based on their circumstances, takes active steps towards work or studies through increased participation, structure, and personal responsibility.

The operation offers motivating and health-promoting initiatives, support in job searching, work training, and mobile coaching in practice with internal and external employers, as well as group activities focusing on language, health, and labor market skills.
