Labour Market Department

Svenska

The Labour Market Department's role is to create effective measures to encourage more Stockholmers to find work, or start studying.

The Labour Market Department is responsible for:

  • labour market initiatives
  • adult education: SFI, Komvux and higher vocational education
  • coordinating holiday jobs for young people
  • providing activities for those aged 16-19 who are not pursuing upper secondary education
  • coordination of the City’s collaboration with the Swedish Public Employment Service
  • social orientation for new arrivals
  • coordination of the City’s work on the initial reception and establishment of new arrivals

The elected representatives on the Labour Market Committee make decisions on how the City should work in this area. The Labour Market Department must then implement the Committee’s decisions.
