Engineer to Engineer

Engineer to Engineer is a project that aims to create a labor market with equal opportunities for everyone. It creates a platform that enables newly arrived professionals to network and gain the necessary tools to enter the Swedish labor market

Among the refugees that arrive in Sweden, there are many qualified engineers and scientists whose academic expertise is not fully used in the labour market. Engineer to Engineer creates a platform where recently arrived engineers and scientists can network and exchange experiences with working professionals in Sweden. This aims to give the participants a possibility to a fast integration into the Swedish society. At the same time, we provide Swedish companies with professional expertise.

We connect progressive companies with engineers and scientists with a refugee background through different events. Engineer to Engineer arranges recruitment fairs, CV workshops, interview training, case events and provides a platform for professional networking between engineers and scientists from different geographical backgrounds.

How you can contribute

If you are a company with the need of engineers or scientists, you can participate in a recruitment fair, review CVs or present a case. If you are an established engineer or scientist in Sweden, you can help with networking, interview training or review CVs. Other suggestions on how you can contribute are always welcome.
