About Us

In Gothenburg, everyone should be able to grow. Freely and independently. This requires more people to gain skills that match the needs of the labor market. And thereby jobs, a livelihood, and the opportunity to contribute to society. Regardless of how the journey there looks, everyone should have a place in our city. That is why the Department of Employment and Adult Education exists.

We see every person's potential and open paths forward. By coordinating Gothenburg City's labor market initiatives and ensuring municipal adult education, we set the direction and serve as a hub for collaboration. Together with engaged entrepreneurs, academia, international companies, civil society, and other parts of the city, we work with combined force towards common goals. This strengthens individuals and one of Sweden's largest labor markets. We open opportunities, every day.

We are now looking for you who want to make a difference!
