  1. Arbetsförmedlingen The Swedish Public Employment Service

  2. Where opportunities meet • Arbetsförmedlingen is the largest employment agency in Sweden. • We are there where the needs are, all over the country. • All our services are free of charge. • Over the next few years, many Swedes are going to retire. • We anticipate that more than one million recruitment assignments will be completet in 2011. • Welcome to the place where opportunities meet!

  3. Our mandate We work from a mandate from the Parliament and the Government. Our mission is to develop the labour market by: • Bringing together, in the most efficient way possible, those who are seeking work and those who are seeking labour. • Focusing extra on those who are somewhat distanced from the labour market. • Contributing to long term employment growth.

  4. Our mandate also includes • Working with other partners to ensure that jobseekers obtain work quickly and efficiently. • Taking comprehensive responsibility for disability issues within labour market policy. • Ensuring that recently arrived immigrants quickly enter the labour market. • Encouraging jobseekers in various ways to seek work throughout the country. • Ensuring that the unemployment insurance is used in the right way during the time it takes to find a new job.

  5. Customer at the centre • Employers and jobseekers are at the centre of our activities. • Our customers differ and the support we provide is adapted as far as possible to each and every one of them. • We support our customers to take an active role in their job seeking. • Our customers have access to our services via arbetsformedlingen.se, our customer service and the local employment offices.

  6. Jobseekers • The purpose of all contacts between the jobseeker and this organization is to enable him or her to find work quickly. • We offer a quick assessment of the needs of the jobseeker and adapt our support to these needs. • We always document and analyze the jobseeker’s qualifications for matching. • We provide information and support to the jobseeker regarding the conditions of the unemployment insurance system. • We pay particular attention to jobseekers at risk of long-term unemployment and jobseekers who have a weak position on the labour market.

  7. Did you know … … that The vacancy database on our website arbetsförmedlingen.se receives around 200,000 visits from jobseekers daily.

  8. Employers • We offer individually support and a contact person for every case. • We offer jobseekers with the right qualifications/skills without delay. • We arrange recruitment meetings in our offices. • We provide advice on how to recruit successfully. • We pay particular attention to employers in professions with a shortage of labour, employers with few employees and employers who are unfamiliar with our services.

  9. Did you know … … that in 2010, Swedish employers completed just over a million recruitment assignments. Nearly half of those obtaining work were registered with Arbetsförmedlingen.

  10. Many ways into employment • We give extra support to certain jobseekers through labour market policy programmes. • The state of the economy, and the labour market situation decides what types of programmes are needed. • The programmes that are designed for people with functional disabilities leading to impaired capacity for work are less susceptible to changes in the economy. • The largest programmes today are the Job and Development Guarantee programme and the Young People’s Job Guarantee programme.

  11. Our organization

  12. Finances 2011 • We are financed by grants from Parliament/the government. • Total funding for 2011 is SEK 62 billion. • SEK 37 billion is paid as support to the unemployed, in the form of unemployment benefit and activity support. • SEK 7 billion is spent on procurement of services, including from the partners with whom we co-operate. • SEK 12 billion goes in wage subsidies and other special initiatives for the functionally disabled. • SEK 6 billion is spent on our pay, premises and other operating costs.

  14. Two new assignments At the beginning of 2010, Arbetsförmedlingen was given two new tasks: 1. Integration and establishment 2.
