Your Profile

We are looking for you who want to work as a vocational teacher in construction and civil engineering with a focus on house construction. We place great emphasis on personal qualities. You who lack teacher certification have the opportunity to apply for the position. The duties include contact with business life, as a large part of the students' study time consists of workplace-based learning (APL), and therefore good communication with employers is meritorious.

We value your ability to meet students based on their knowledge and needs, and that you identify with our values and keywords. Our students are eager to enter the working life, and your biggest task is to lead them there!

Be part of shaping the future of vocational education!

Practical Gymnasiet is the largest in Sweden within upper secondary vocational education. We strive to give our young people the best possible conditions to enter the working life early. We know that a good vocational education results in jobs directly after high school, but also a sense of hope for the future. We take our societal role very seriously, and our vision is to give our students 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 together around each student regardless of our roles. GLÖW reflects our pride in the important societal responsibility we have as vocational educators in Sweden.

A vocational education opens opportunities to create your own life, which develops society as a whole. We want to contribute to creating social benefit in this way, for young people who have their sights set on a specific profession, but also for young people 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.

We Offer

The health and well-being of our employees is important to us. Therefore, at our schools, employees are offered benefits such as a fitness allowance, parental pay, and occupational health care.
