Recently, a new education was launched in Sweden - academic Swedish for Ukrainian citizens. This is so that Ukrainian refugees can also contribute with their college and university educations to the Swedish labor market.

Samnytt has drawn attention in several articles to the fact that Ukrainian refugees have become a popular feature of the Swedish labor market. One such place is Skellefteå, where they have been able to fill a number of shortages in, for example, cooking and domestic service. The municipality hopes to attract even more Ukrainians.

Mikael Nordberg is the regional manager at Folkuniversitetet and he tells TV4 that Swedish companies have a need for competent labor at the same time that many Ukrainian refugees have training - including a lot of doctors and engineers.

Therefore, during the autumn, Folkuniversitetet has started to offer courses in academic Swedish to Ukrainian refugees so that they can validate their courses. The language training in academic Swedish is already underway in Gothenburg, Karlstad and Trollhättan.
