Communicate your participation

Being part of Tekniksprånget is something you should brag about. Your trainees do. If you communicate your participation, you also have the chance to attract more applicants in the coming semesters.

Best practice for external communication

Participating in Tekniksprånget makes a big difference on several levels. Partly for an individual who may find their way in professional life, partly for your business – but also for Swedish skills supply in general. Whatever drives you and your business in this, it's something to be proud of.

Here are tips and tools for the best way to communicate your participation.

LinkedIn is a brilliant place to start. Or other digital channels your company is on. Present your tech buddies in a post – it doesn't have to be advanced – or flaunt milestones they've reached during the internship.

School visits and instagram. We would like to see Tekniksprångarna inspire more people to do the internship and encourage them to make school visits. For example, at his old high school.

The website and other internal channels are another place to introduce your new, young colleagues. It can be a short interview about what they get to do during the day, what they want to learn more about or why they applied to you in the first place. Long-time Tekniksprånget participants Subtonomy are doing well on their website. Feel free to get inspiration there.

Otherwise, here's a text you can steal straight off:

We participate in Tekniksprånget

We at [COMPANY] are proud participants in Tekniksprånget, an internship program where young adults get the chance to try out the engineering profession for real. It is also a chance for us to shape the next generation of engineers.

Through our participation, we hope not only to gain a head start in our own future recruitments, but also to contribute to Swedish skills supply and innovation.

I don't think I would have found my way to SJ if it hadn't been for Tekniksprånget.

Internal communication

Recruit supervisors

In recent years, we have experienced a huge number of applications and naturally want as many people as possible to try out the engineering profession.

Committed supervisors and other employees who can take technological leaps under their wing are enormously important. They are the basis for how many places Tekniksprånget can offer each semester. Therefore, please check if there are colleagues who need extra help in projects or with everyday tasks.

Here, too, we can offer a text that is perfect to post in internal communication or any channel where you reach your employees.

Become a mentor for technology leapers!

Do you want to develop your leadership, bring new energy into everyday life and at the same time make a difference for a young person's future? We are now looking for a supervisor for Tekniksprånget.

[COMPANY NAME] participates in Tekniksprånget, a national four-month internship program where young people get to discover what it's like to work as an engineer. By receiving a technology leaper, we contribute both to our long-term skills supply and to more young people choosing technical education.

You don't have to be a manager to be a supervisor. The assignment is equally suitable for you who are an employee and want to try leading, coaching and sharing your knowledge. The program is structured and provides support regarding structure and tasks. The most important thing is that you are curious, committed and want to create a safe and educational introduction.

Supervision gives you the opportunity to develop your coaching approach, gain new perspectives on your work and contribute to strengthening our employer brand.

Do you want to be part of shaping the engineers of the future?
