Jobbentrén is a social enterprise creating long-term employment by matching foreign-born talent with employers through tailored support and close collaboration. 

Many people born outside Sweden have valuable skills, experience, and a strong wish to work, but still face challenges entering the job market. Long-term unemployment, small networks, and not knowing local workplace norms can make it hard to get started.

This affects not just individuals and families, but also leads to segregation and exclusion, while employers lose out on important talent. 

Jobbentrén aims to change this situation by creating long-term job opportunities by connecting foreign-born job seekers with employers who need their skills. The goal is to build matches that last, not just offer quick fixes. 

Jobbentrén takes a personal approach where each participant combines real work tasks with ongoing coaching and support. Candidates receive support in building confidence, establishing routines, and developing useful skills. Employers receive support with onboarding, leadership, and making their workplaces more inclusive. By helping both sides, Jobbentrén increases the likelihood of successful employment. 

The work is practical and based on real needs, looking at each candidate’s strengths, goals, and areas for growth, then matching them with what employers are looking for. With regular follow-ups and check-ins, the organisation makes sure both the person and the workplace have what they need to succeed in the long run. 

Jobbentrén’s ambition is a job market where everyone can work and feel included, no matter their background. The vision is a Sweden where skills matter most, and where inclusion and good results go together.
