Spouses

This page provides information for spouses about finding a job and learning Swedish.

Finding a job

One of the challenges of moving to a new country as an accompanying spouse is finding an occupation.

Uppsala International Hub arrange programs to help people to get a job in Sweden. You can find their upcoming events in their event calendar.

At the Swedish Public Emploment service you’ll find webinars on for example how to write a CV and how to nail the job interview

Swedish language courses

Please note that although Swedes are happy to speak English, it is still hard to find a job if you do not speak Swedish. There is a cost-free course in Swedish for non-Swedes as soon as you have received your personal identity number, called Svenska för invandrare – often abbreviated as SFI. We recommend you to contact SFI as soon as possible.
