Dates for Industrial Placement/Lärande i arbete

Class of 2008 starts their Industrial placement/Lärande i arbete from 19th of June till the 30th of August. It´s a flexible start but as long as it´s 30 weeks and it ends before the 8th of April. This has to do with the different companies needs and the Swedish Student Aid´s flexible system.

Higher Vocational Education Courses, HVECs, cover a wide range of vocational areas, but they have one goal in common, namely the provision of advanced vocational education, tailored to the needs of the labour market. In HVECs a modern approach is taken where theoretical learning is integrated and blended with vocational practice at the workplace.

Vocational practice at the workplace, also called internship, is at The Game Assembly 1/3 of the education. It is 30 weeks, 6 months, placed in the end of the education.

Our students apply for their own internship in the same way you apply for a job. The Game Assembly coaches each the student to write a cv, a personal letter and make a portfolio that will lead to a “vocational practice at the workplace”.

Our class of 2008 will go out on their internship period this summer/fall. They have a flexible start from June to August, the important thing is that they will have an internshipperiod for 30 weeks.

If you are interested in taking on a student on internship you should contact him or her directly. You can find their contact information and in most cases their portfolio on these links:

You need to have a fully equipped work place and you need to have a tutor/mentor for the student. The 6 months the student are at your company needs to be an developing experience for both you and the student.
