The main task of an Apprenticeship Coordinator is close collaboration with travel industry branches and various work placement sites. This involves securing work placement sites, reviewing and following up to ensure they meet school requirements, and writing contracts with work placement sites for students. Some work is done at Agneberg where you will have contact with workplaces and students. You will also visit work placement sites before placements, on the student's first day, and during follow-ups. You will drive development work for the apprenticeship model and market the program at trade shows, conferences, and similar events. An Apprenticeship Coordinator works with multiple industries that can change over time depending on students' career choices. Job Responsibilities Responsibilities include: - Securing work placement sites, visiting them, and writing placement contracts - Compiling materials for state grant applications - Developing and implementing supervisor training - Working on marketing and admission to various programs - Participating and driving development work in program councils (meetings between school and industry) - Attending trade shows and other events - Participating in student health team meetings for "your" students Who We're Looking For We seek someone who can work both in groups and independently. You will take significant responsibility and complete much of the work on your own, so it's important that you are both independent and proactive. Students are individuals, so you must flexibly manage their work placements to suit their needs. As part of an organization with extensive contacts with workplaces and professional life, you must be attentive to industry needs and able to create good relationships with business owners. You must be service-oriented to ensure students receive good work placements while being clear about what is required of the students. Qualifications - Class B driver's license - Documented excellent communication skills in Swedish, both verbal and written - Ability to easily create relationships with unknown people - Good knowledge of local and regional business - Experience with collaboration between vocational high school education and relevant industries for apprenticeship training is meritorious Additional Information This is a vacation-based position, although the school is largely regulated by academic terms. Great importance is placed on personal suitability, as the work is critical for students' development. Due to the position's critical nature for the organization, we may use probationary employment depending on your previous experience/employment. For positions requiring teacher certification/diploma/study certificate, these must be submitted before employment. Employment is subject to necessary decisions. For positions involving direct and regular contact with children and youth, and for services within LSS, care and nursing, healthcare, psychiatric care, and addiction care, a valid extract from the police criminal record register must be presented or submitted before employment.
