What is Kick-Start Program?
International Citizen Hub Lund offers a Kick-Start Program aiming to provide you with useful tools that will increase the opportunity to reach the job market. The program comprises different institutions, companies and individuals that give support, inspiration and shared experience in how to find employment.
The job program is based on 10 informative sessions on how to optimize your job search as an international talent in Sweden. These sessions have a different theme targeting, e.g. Swedish work culture, CV writing and interview tips and even starting your own company just to name a few. The program is limited to 60 participants divided into two groups that will meet basically 2-3 times a week with start-up times in late September and February.
We also create extra recruiting activities with collaborating partners to help the jobseeker get closer to companies that are currently recruiting and facilitate an alumni network. The Kick-Start Program alumni network is for both those who are gainfully employed and current jobseekers who find the value of keeping in touch to share their experiences.
This program is limited to those recruited to Sweden and connected to a Lund company/organisation, as well as Lund University. We suggest you check with your spouse/partner to receive further information about our Kick-Start Program or contact us directly for assistance.

NEW! An opportunity for non-Lund companies and learning institutions
If you’re an organization that recruit international talent from outside of Sweden, then this opportunity may be of interest. International Citizen Hub Lund has been running the Kick-Start Job Program since fall 2016 with the aim of helping spouses/partners of recruited talent to navigate the Swedish Job Market. There have been over 690 participants attending the program with a success factor of 57% either finding employment or starting their own company.
We now have the pleasure of opening this appreciated program to other companies outside Lund. We are able to provide a few places to companies who recruit international employees with an accompanying spouse / partner. As this program is financed by the city of Lund, all Lund companies, Lund University and our research facilities ESS and MAX IV are not obliged to financially contribute to the participants entering the program. However, all companies, universities or municipalities outside of Lund will need to contribute financially to the program per participant.
Information meetings for the spouse/partner will be held in August but the program start is set for 25 September. If you’d like more information about the program or if you have any questions about the financial contribution, please contact Lisa Andersson at lisa.andersson@lund.se
If you would like an information flyer to share with your incoming international recruits or those recruits that moved here during 2023, please feel free to contact Lisa.
