Our industry specialists are going to provide a variety of workshops, such as where to look for a job in Sweden or how to prepare yourself for a job interview.

Throughout the whole program mentees will be provided with a mentor's support along with support from the program administrators.
We believe that these efforts will help the participants to integrate into the Swedish labor market thus achieve the main goal of this program.

Mentorship program in details
The first wave of the Care in Change mentorship program started in January and will end in May 2023. Now we have a wonderful group of mentees from different parts of Ukraine. All of them are from different age groups and have a variety of experiences and professions. The average age of our mentees is 30-45 years, but it is possible to apply for the program when you are 18 years old.
The first group by its own example shows that age does not matter. Whether you are 18 or 50 +, everyone here has one common goal – to integrate into Swedish society, learn a language and start working in Sweden.
