Applications are closed for the spring 2023 program, but you can register your interest here and be the first to hear about the next iteration of this groundbreaking program!

Join this 5-week program where participants begin a personal and professional journey together!

Through Unlock Sweden, you will explore the cultural and historical layers of Swedish society, while reflecting on who you are and your place within Stockholm’s vibrant eco-system and developing the practical skills and resources to successfully navigate recruitment processes and land a job.

With a holistic approach in mind, the program is designed to provide the network, information, support, and training necessary to not only enter the Swedish labor market, but also to become more rooted in Stockholm – making it feel more like home.

SDCN Academy: Unlock Sweden is proudly presented by Stockholms Akademiska Forum, in partnership with The City of Stockholm & Invest Stockholm, and all 18 universities and higher education insitutions in Stockholm.

Please reach out to Philip Rohrer – philip.rohrer@staforum.se – with any questions you may have (see below for frequently asked questions)!

I am considering starting a Swedish language course that takes place during the morning on the same days. Can I do both?
Nice! We think learning Swedish is vital to making Stockholm feel like home. That being said, we believe Unlock Sweden will serve as a good foundation in your transition to Stockholm. If possible, we recommend starting your Swedish course after the program.

I work at a company in Stockholm and would like to offer Unlock Sweden to the spouses of our employees. What should I do?
Exciting! Please contact Philip to start a conversation about partnering with SDCN.
