A needs analysis among employers in the caring services in Uppsala County has identified the need to recruit 7,500 professionals with an upper secondary qualification by 2025. This need is foreseen due to forthcoming retirement loads and the predicted increase in social service and care requirements of an aging population. The proportion of unemployed foreign-born men and women is also high in the county. One way to meet the demand for labour in the health and care sector is to take advantage of the expertise that the foreign-born labour force provide. The challenge for the county is that Swedish language skills among a large proportion of the foreign-born workers are too weak to allow the opportunity for them to establish themselves in employment. Against this background, the project - "Language Supporting Structures" – aims to develop new approaches and preparedness among employers and educational and intermediary organizations to expand and streamline the recruitment base and development opportunities for language-weak, foreign-born workers, both among employees in the health sector and among the unemployed. Employers in the health care sector across the Uppsala County will educate language ambassadors and integration supervisors, strengthen in-house management skills in integration issues (covering standards, gender equality, accessibility and culture etc) and deepen interaction with education and mediation systems (the Employment Services, adult education and trade union bodies) through the provision of clear and quality assured procedures for cooperation for meeting future competence and skill requirement. As women stand for a significant percentage of the number of foreign-borns with Swedish language difficulties, the project will strengthen the role of women in the labour market. Meanwhile, an assessment that a more structured and transparent model of inclusion and language support in the workplace will strengthen the attractiveness of men to seek employment in the health and social care sector. Something that contributes to a decreased gender segregated labourmarket. (Swedish)
