Project models

The activities were carried out in the project's activity house Ågården in central Åmål. There was also an information office where third-country nationals and new residents of Åmål received guidance on issues concerning society and help with contacts with authorities.

Based on the models and the activities developed in the project, the participants were offered training in how the Swedish labor market works (target group women), health and self-care, everyday Swedish, professional Swedish through introductory courses in care and diet / kitchen and courses in starting a business. By participating in IN Åmål, job seekers had the opportunity to undergo a workplace introduction and have previous professional experience and training validated through a professional competence assessment.
