Document Actions
is a collaborative effort between the Swedish Trade Union Confederation), the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, and the Swedish government, represented by the Ministry of Education, the National Agency for Education (Skolverket), and the Swedish Authority for Higher Vocational Education. Through partnerships with businesses, vocational boards, industry organisations, and schools, this collaboration is tasked with increasing the status, quality, and attractiveness of Swedish professions and vocational education.
The need to enhance the status of vocational education is not limited to Sweden alone. In the image above, you can see Marcus Gustafson competing in painting during the WorldSkills Competition in Gdansk in September 2023. A total of 600 participants from 32 countries participated.
