Nacka has signed a letter of intent for SAO jobs, allowing pupils to combine school with paid, long-term employment.
What happened?
The municipality and Nästa generation Sverige want to introduce study-motivating work orientation as an alternative to traditional work experience at one selected school. The model involves employment for two hours a week for one year, from the spring term of year 8 to the spring term of year 9.
Location
Nacka, Stockholms län
Impact and significance
Pupils could gain work experience, pay and a longer relationship with an employer. The letter of intent is not a final implementation decision, and effects on attendance, motivation or future employment have not yet been reported for Nacka.
Background
Jobs are planned in local companies, municipal operations and the organisation's network. The model has previously been tested or agreed elsewhere, and municipalities are reported not to pay a fee to the organisation.
Latest update
The target is to start at one selected school in spring 2028. The school, number of pupils, employers, pay conditions and final funding must be confirmed later. This summary is based on the cited public source and reflects the information available when WUA reviewed it on 23 August 2026. It does not replace current instructions from the responsible authority, municipality or organiser. If dates, times, conditions or implementation have changed, the latest information on the original page takes precedence. The headline and text have been editorially rewritten to separate verifiable facts from the source's own assessments. No information outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps; readers should follow the source links for full context. WUA checked the page title, date, location, amounts and status where available, but has not verified matters that the source leaves open, such as final costs, attendance, permits or future results. Time-sensitive details were checked against the source at review, but practical decisions must always rely on the responsible organisation's current notice. WUA does not accept registrations, applications, votes, payments or personal data for the services described and cannot confirm individual eligibility.
