Bærekraft i praksis - ny kurs for Norden på arbeidsmiljøområdet (in Norwegian)
Försmådd yrkeskärlek – om medierna som arbetsplats (in Swedish)
The theme for the first issue of Nordisk Arbetsmarknad in 1987 was labour market training (AMU). The front page illustration is not about an AMU guide navigating a bureaucratic jungle but shows how the Swedish AMU trained eight factory workers in Mozambique. Nicaraguan miners, Chinese toolmakers and Libyan maintenance staff had also attended courses run by AMU.
