Career Training Program
Welcome to the Career Training Workshop Series organized by Uppsala International Hub. Are you looking for a job but feel you’re getting nowhere? Would you like to increase your knowledge about the job market and what employers are looking for? Do you need some tips on how to broaden your network and how to conduct yourself in an interview? And would you like to meet others in the same situation to expand your social network? Then this is for you!
Uppsala International Hub are organising this program which will give you hands-on tools on how to succeed in finding a job in Sweden. The job program is based on 4 informative sessions on how to optimise your job search. Each session addresses a different theme. Throughout the series, you will also have the opportunity to meet different organizations that can help give you insights and support for your job search journey.
You will become part of a cohort of other internationals who would like to get a foot into the Swedish job market. The main goal is to get guidance, train your skills, help each other out and make new contacts. You will get practical tips and tailor-made advice for your job search customised to the challenges in your process. As space is limited, we ask that you fill out the short application. Applicants will be notified about acceptance into the program via email. If you are interested in the program, you can register at the bottom left side of this page. The deadline for applications is the 17 September, however, we advise you to apply as soon as possible.
