The seminar will take up demand for skills on the job market, salaries, together with practical tips on how to remain competitive. Time will also be set aside to discuss the role of labor unions in Sweden.
The event will be specifically for members of the Faculty of forest sciences and will therefore place a stronger focus on career opportunities within that sector.
