When speaking with employers, colleagues, or new professional contacts in Sweden, you need to summarize your background clearly. In this deck, you will learn spoken frames to discuss your qualifications, work history, and career goals.

To describe your field of education, use the phrase 'ha en utbildning inom', meaning to have an education in. For example, 'Jag har en utbildning inom ekonomi' means 'I have an education in economics'.

When you want to state the specific profession you trained for, use 'ha en utbildning som', meaning to have training as. For example, 'Jag har en utbildning som kock' means 'I have training as a chef'.

To say how many years your education lasted, combine a number word with the ending årig. For example, 'en treårig utbildning' means 'a three-year education'. 'Jag har en treårig utbildning inom IT' means 'I have a three-year education in IT'.
