Basic information about mobility of apprentices in Sweden
Who is concerned?
The primary funders of internationalization within education - in school education, vocational education and training, adult education and youth exchanges - except the EU commission are the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Swedish government; Ministry of foreign affairs, Ministry of Education (state). The programmes are implemented by the International Programme Office for Education and Training (Internationella Programkontoret), a government agency that promotes and support different forms of international cooperation within education.
How is mobility organized?
There are different kind of mobility schemes:
- Pupils (initial vocational education and training - work placement
- Adult learners (continuing vocational education and training) - Job-shadowing
There are no specific arrangements or measures targeted to employers. Employers are usually involved through international projects and mobility actions.
Sources of funding / Other mobility programs and initiatives
Funding and implementing activities in the field of learning mobility are clearly focused on two categories of actors in the country. Ministries provide the funding for the majority of schemes, to a lesser extent funding is provided by public national institutions. When it comes to the implementation, the picture is vice versa. The implementation of many schemes is delegated by the ministries to public national institutions and to ‘other’ institutions in one case.
