Vacant job

In Ludvika, children and young people are important! We demonstrate this by placing children and young people at the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed toward children and young people have been consolidated under a single committee. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and individual and family care. What all these activities have in common is a conscious quality assurance effort to continuously develop and improve work with children and young people.
