Occupational Therapist - Labor Market Services

Description:

About the Workplace Addressing future welfare challenges is our great mission. At the labor market administration, we have a crucial responsibility: to enable residents receiving financial assistance to become self-sufficient as quickly as possible, while also helping employers find the right talent. We meet this challenge with a broad range of adult education programs and labor market initiatives – and we test new ways of working together with the business sector, other departments, authorities, and civil society. To succeed, we must be bold, experiment, and find smart solutions. We are approximately 400 colleagues at the administration, and our role is to provide residents with the right tools so they can take responsibility for their own development and livelihood. The Competence Arena Section was established in October 2025. In this section, we work with residents who need work training or work capacity assessments to understand their potential in employment or studies.
