On Tuesday morning, Elderly and Social Insurance Minister Anna Tenje visited Svedala municipality to learn about its work retraining staff from preschools to elderly care. Svedala municipality has invested since last year in retraining childcare workers to become assistant nurses. During the day, municipal employees, students, and Tenje gathered to discuss recruitment in care professions.
Tenje said she was on a study visit to see how recruitment to care professions can be worked on and how Svedala has succeeded in retraining childcare workers. In Svedala, the municipality needed to lay off 45 preschool employees over an 18-month period. After that, childcare workers were given a retraining offer involving paid education and a guaranteed job upon completion.

Fredrik Aksell, education head in Svedala municipality, said they have worked on skills supply for a long time, but this is the first round where specifically childcare workers are being retrained.
