Find an internship and prepare a clear application

Clarify the placement you need

An education placement, Swedish LIA and work practice arranged through Arbetsförmedlingen are different arrangements. Check the requirements with your school or responsible organisation. JobAXS does not determine eligibility, compensation or placement agreements.

Note the dates, hours, location and learning objectives. These details help you identify suitable workplaces and ask useful questions.

Use several relevant search terms

Try internship, praktik and your field of study. Check employers’ career pages and your school’s channels too; not every possible placement has a public advert.

Use JobAXS to find and save adverts, then check the original source and deadline. A search result does not guarantee that a placement is available.

Explain your contribution and learning goals

Highlight relevant courses and projects in your CV. Explain how the workplace relates to your studies and what you could contribute during the placement. Make your learning goals clear.

Ask questions before accepting

Clarify supervision, responsibilities, feedback, working hours and insurance. Discuss agreement and compensation questions with your school, responsible organisation and the workplace.

• Dates and working hours are confirmed.
• Supervision and tasks are clear.
• The placement can meet education requirements.
• Agreement, insurance and any compensation are clarified.
