The "My Future" Project

My Future is a project run by the Employment Unit with the aim of supporting individuals in taking steps closer to the labor market and increasing their participation in society. The project is funded by the Coordination Association in Uppsala County and targets individuals aged 16–66 who are registered residents of Tierp Municipality and are far from the labor market. The project runs until December 31, 2027.

The target group consists of individuals in need of coordinated efforts and individually adapted support to move forward into work or studies, approach the labor market, or participate in standard rehabilitation measures from relevant authorities.

Through close cooperation between the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, and the Region of Uppsala, good conditions are created for participants to receive the right support based on their needs. The coordinated efforts contribute to a holistic view where the individual's resources, opportunities, and goals are at the center.

In the project, a dedicated team consisting of an effort manager, two counselors, and an occupational therapist works. To further strengthen the support for participants, the project is now being expanded with a Work Consultant, enabling even more individual-focused and labor market-oriented work.

My Future strives to create sustainable paths forward for each participant – with the goal that more people achieve self-sufficiency, increased independence, and greater participation in society.
