Vacant job

Västerbergslagens Educational Consortium (VBU) is a municipal consortium that provides upper secondary education, adult education, vocational higher education, and commissioned training. We operate on behalf of the municipalities of Ludvika and Smedjebacken. VBU has approximately 250 employees, 3,000 students, and an annual turnover of approximately 280 million SEK. Our operations are located in Ludvika, Smedjebacken, and Grängesberg. More information about our various schools can be found on our website.

Children and young people are important in Ludvika and Smedjebacken! We demonstrate this by placing children and young people at the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and young people have been consolidated under a single committee. This includes preschool, primary school, special needs school, and social welfare. What all these operations have in common is a conscious quality effort to continuously develop and improve the work with children and young people. The School of Culture has been part of Västerbergslagens Educational Consortium since 2019.

Västerbergslagens School of Culture has approximately 900 active students in the subjects of music, dance, theater, and digital creation, with a total of 28 employees. The School of Culture primarily targets children and young people but also accepts adult students. We have many orchestras and ensembles where students can participate. In 2025, we held approximately 85 concerts and other outward-facing activities.
