Höglandsförbundet – Collaboration is our strength!

Höglandsförbundet is a municipal association formed by Aneby, Eksjö, Nässjö, Sävsjö, and Vetlanda. These five municipalities, located on the Småland highlands, value collaboration and know that we are stronger together.

Today, we host a variety of operations working for the best of all of Högland.

Within Höglandsförbundet, there is also Höglandets utbildningssamverkan (Högland Education Collaboration), which currently consists of Höglandsgymnasiet with schools in Eksjö, Nässjö, Sävsjö, and Vetlanda. In total, we have approximately 550 employees working to ensure our roughly 3,000 students receive high-quality education that prepares them for the future, whether in the workforce or further studies. In the summer of 2026, Högland's adult education programs will also join, located in Sävsjö, Eksjö, and Nässjö.

Your new job

Adapted education for adults is aimed at students who are over 20 years old and have an intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury. The education is conducted as teacher-led individual instruction and/or instruction in small groups. Students in adapted education take one course at a time, with lessons once a week. The education is tailored to the student's prerequisites, needs, and goals.

From July 1st, the adult education in Nässjö, Eksjö, and Sävsjö will belong to Höglandets utbildningssamverkan, Höglandsvux.
