Want to jumpstart your career after studying in Sweden? 🌍

Did you know SI offers paid traineeships for alumni in their home countries?

This year, 30 international graduates from Swedish universities are gaining hands-on experience at 21 Swedish companies across 14 countries, building skills, expanding networks, and shaping their careers.

By applying their knowledge in real business settings, alumni also help strengthen Swedish industry abroad. It’s a true win–win for both alumni and employers.
