The Fast Track is a collaborative project between TMF (Wood and Furniture Companies), the GS union and the Swedish Public Employment Service. The aim of the project is to create a faster path to the labour market for newcomers with relevant knowledge and experience. Träbransch Norr has been commissioned to inform the parties' member companies in southern Norrbotten and Västerbotten about the Fast Track and its recruitment opportunities.
The target group for the initiative is newly arrived people with relevant education or relevant experience and an interest in working in the wood and furniture industry.
