SDCN Academy: Unlock Sweden

SDCN Academy: Unlock Sweden is a unique 5-week program where participants begin a personal and professional journey together with other SDCN members.

Through the program, 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 (while having a lot of fun along the way).

The speakers and coaches at the program are leading experts in their fields.

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.

Nice! We think learning Swedish is vital to making Stockholm feel like home. That being said, we believe SDCN Academy will serve as a good foundation in your transition to Stockholm. If possible, we recommend starting your Swedish course after the program or choosing one during the afternoon.

Exciting! Please contact Philip to start a conversation about partnering with SDCN.
