Articles
Here you can find articles about career guidance, language planning, and the Swedish education system.
I plan to add new content regularly, so don’t forget to check back from time to time.
In my opinion, responsible decision-making starts with self-awareness, so don’t be surprised if you come across topics that are not directly related to career guidance. I usually write based on what inspires me, whether it’s a conversation with a client or parent, or something I’ve read. Feel free to suggest topics you would be interested in reading about.
Read on to educate yourselves so you can better support your children on their journey toward becoming confident and thoughtful decision-makers about their future.
