Trying to understand the Swedish work culture and your rights? Join our open Q&A for explanations and space to ask all your questions.
Are you working in Sweden but still finding your way through the local work culture, labor rights, or the famous “Swedish model”?
Maybe you’ve heard about unions and collective agreements but aren’t quite sure how they work or how they can support you. This is your chance to ask anything you’ve been wondering about.
Engineers of Sweden welcomes you to an open and friendly Q&A session where you can:
No question is too basic. No Swedish required. Just curiosity, conversation, and a space created for you.
Come join us and feel more confident in your life and career in Sweden.
In preparation for the session, there is a recorded webinar to watch beforehand. You will receive more information about this when you register.
