Check out the post below from Jobbsprånget alumna Manali Ranka, who completed her internship at Mölnlycke Health Care last year and continuing there as Global Master Data Specialist. Keep on inspiring, Manali!

"1 year at Mölnlycke and still here! 🙌

​If you’d asked me on my first day, I never would’ve guessed I’d still be part of Mölnlycke Health Care a year later. But things happen for a reason, and I’m so glad they did.

​From a Jobbsprånget intern to a summer worker, and now starting my new chapter as a Global Master Data Specialist this January - it’s been quite the evolution.

​It’s been a challenging road, but the support here made it possible. I’m just soaking it all in and feeling incredibly blessed. Sometimes the best plans are the ones you didn’t make!

​I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m just living in the moment and enjoying the present."

Jobbsprånget alumna Yolanda Mthembu shared the biggest challenge she faced during her internship journey.

“It’s more internal, it’s the heart,” she says.

After facing multiple job rejections, Yolanda struggled with discouragement and uncertainty. A feeling many of our participants know all too well.

But what stands out is the courage and resilience we see time and time again. The strength to keep going, even when it’s tough.

Yolanda’s story is a reminder: don’t give up on your goals and dreams💛

Well done, Yolanda and to all our Job Leapers who continue to push forward.

🌟Alumni Highlights
Meet Rishi Senthil, Jobbsprånget alumnus who recently completed his internship for Dutt Consulting at their client Pomona Gruppen. After the internship, Rishi continues to work part time for the consulting company.

Check below for Rishi's answer when asked what was the most valuable thing from the internship:

"The most valuable part of my internship was leading a hands-on climate risk analysis for an FMCG bottle cap and closure company. Conducting the assessment gave me practical insight into how physical and transition climate risks can impact business processes, financial performance, and supply chains.

I also valued being involved in the sustainability reporting process from a foundational level which strengthened my understanding of structured, credible reporting. Additionally, using AI tools like Copilot to conduct benchmark assessments made the work both efficient and forward-looking, showing how technology can enhance sustainability advisory."

👍We wish you the best of luck for your journey onwards, Rishi!

So far this year, 900 foreign-born professionals are being matched with employers across Sweden, in roles at their level of competence. 60% go on to employment after their internship.

With continued support from the Swedish government, we hope to create even more opportunities for foreign-born academics.

Glad Påsk💛

Jobbsprånget Alumni Highlight: Oliver Moore, who just completed his internship at Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL)🌟

"Just finished my four-month Jobbsprånget internship at IVL, focused on wastewater treatment R&D 💧 🚰
A fascinating four months!

I worked primarily at SWIC Sjöstadsverket Water Innovation Centre with Mayumi Narongin Fujikawa and Linda Kanders. I also had the pleasure of visiting the Henriksdal, SYVAB and Käppalaförbundet wastewater treatment plants 🏭, as well as attending the hashtag conference in Gothenburg.

My work included:
⚙️ Assisting with the operation of pilot-scale activated sludge and MBR systems
🧪 Developing a method and SOP for measuring the iodine value of activated carbon materials
📊 Mass balance calculations using operational data from IFAS/MBBR pilots in Sundsvall (Kall-PN project)
🧑‍🔬 Laboratory analysis of water and sludge samples (e.g., nutrient analysis with cell test kits and denitrification batch tests)
🖥️ Writing reports and contributing to manuscripts

Beyond the technical work, I really enjoyed the many conversations with colleagues at IVL, and the opportunity to learn about the diverse and innovative projects underway across the organisation 🌍."

🤩Congrats on completing your internship Oliver and we wish you success on your career onwards!
Thank you IVL for opening the glass door for foreign-born academics!
