In 2015, Sweden had a historically high number of refugees. In N\u00e4ssj\u00f6, JYSK chose to take an active responsibility, in collaboration with other industry players and the N\u00e4ssj\u00f6 Learning Centre. By offering internships at its distribution centre to people who have studied Swedish for Immigrants (SFI), JYSK wanted to give new arrivals a concrete opportunity to quickly take the step into working life.<\/p>

Already in the first two years, the initiative led to more than 20 people getting permanent jobs at JYSK. They clearly saw that the language barrier did not have to be an obstacle. Instead, with the right efforts, it could become an opportunity for growth. There was a clear mutual benefit: JYSK gained new committed employees, while the individuals quickly got into work and got structure in their everyday lives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the same time, JYSK realised that initial SFI was not enough. Language is crucial for understanding safety procedures, building trust in the team and growing within the company. They also realised that it was difficult to combine work with language training, which takes a lot of time and effort from the individual. Therefore, they decided to develop a new way of working with language learning, integrated into working hours and focused on long-term inclusion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Since the initial project with N\u00e4ssj\u00f6 L\u00e4rcenter ended in 2017, JYSK's distribution centre in N\u00e4ssj\u00f6 has continued to offer language training during paid working hours<\/strong>, in close cooperation with N\u00e4ssj\u00f6 Learning Centre.<\/p>
