Switch to Sweden: Unlocking Career Opportunities for International Students
Starting a career in a new country can be daunting, but what if there was a way to bridge the gap between international talent and Swedish companies? In this episode, we explore how international students can successfully transition from studying to working in Sweden.
We sit down with Hela Galvisbonilla, Project Manager of Switch to Sweden, to discuss the challenges international students face when job hunting, the importance of networking, and how Swedish work culture might differ from what they’re used to. Hela shares valuable insights on how students can make themselves more attractive to employers, the role of language skills in the job market, and which industries offer the most opportunities.
We’ll also dive into Switch to Sweden’s matchmaking tool, designed to connect international talent with Swedish companies looking for their skills. Whether you’re just starting your job search or considering staying in Sweden after graduation, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you take the next step.
