Parkskolan's industrial technical education in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, is attracting students with paid internships and nearly guaranteed jobs after graduation. The program was close to closure ten years ago but has since become highly popular. The school has invested 10 million kronor in new equipment, though the facilities are cramped.
Students Axel Martinell and Isak Eriksson, in their third year, have been offered jobs at their paid internship placements and note that BAE Systems is also hiring extensively, providing additional job security. The program's strong job prospects are a key draw for students.
