Facts about the Bishop

UNGKOMP is a joint project between the Swedish Public Employment Service and 20 municipalities, running between 2015 and 2018. The project allows municipalities and the employment service to coordinate their resources in order to reduce youth unemployment and improve the way the authorities work. The purpose is to work together in multi-competent teams to help unemployed youths at the stage the they are in. 

The concept is built on the positive and tested working methods developed at the project Unga in (‘Youths included’), which was partially financed by the European Social Fund, and which ran between 2012-2014.

Out of 1,023 youths who finished the Unga in project, 31 percent found jobs, 31 percent started studying, 25 percent quit for known reasons and 13 percent left for unknown reasons.
