Quarterly report Q4 2025 – Initiatives for hard-to-fill occupationss, job fair, and our new website

Connecting Jobs is an initiative that helps newly arrived immigrants and asylum seekers find their place in the Swedish labour market, while Swedish companies gain access to new employees with drive and skills. With support from the European Union through the asylum, migration and integration fund (AMIF), we work to create real job opportunities and build bridges between employers and candidates. With support from Länsstyrelsen, we provide asylum seekers with tools, coaching and guidance to prepare them to take the step into the Swedish labour market.

Connecting Jobs is the new name for the Ukrainian Professional Support Center, which was launched in May 2022. Since then, we have enabled 879 employment contracts, 155 of which have been concluded since the start of the AMIF project in April 2025.

During the fourth quarter, Connecting Jobs has continued its work together with employers in sectors with labour shortages. Together with Ambea, 25 participants have graduated as assistant nurses after two years of combined studies and work within the framework of Ambea’s fast‑track programme, an initiative in collaboration with Beredskapslyftet & Connecting Jobs.

A key focus during the quarter has been planning the job fair “Nu fixar vi jobben” (“Now we’ll fix the jobs”) at the Nordic Museum on 19 March 2026. Together with Tent Sweden, we are bringing together employers with concrete recruitment needs and motivated newly arrived candidates who have the right to work in Sweden.

The fair is free of charge for employers, provided they have at least one vacancy they are actively seeking to fill. Are you an employer with upcoming recruitment needs? This applies whether you need to fill positions now, in the near future, or for example ahead of the summer season. If you are interested, please contact me, Ranya.

We have also launched a new website that Accenture created for us pro bono, a site that makes it easier for both candidates and employers to access our services. A big thanks to Accenture!During the quarter, we have also carried out various activities and events together with, among others, H&M, PostNord, LinkedIn, Ericsson and Lernia, with the aim of creating more direct connections between employers and candidates. In addition, we have received SEK 1.5 million to use for advertising on LinkedIn’s platform. A huge thank you to all our partners for a fantastic Q4!
