Inträdesmodell

Inträdesmodell is a Swedish term that refers to a framework or plan for how participants gain entry to a program, service, or activity. It describes the rules, procedures, and criteria that determine eligibility, the steps needed to apply, and the conditions under which a participant is admitted and can progress. The concept is used to structure access in a transparent and manageable way, often with attention to target groups and intended outcomes.

A typical inträdesmodell includes several elements: defined eligibility criteria, an application process (which may involve documentation, assessments, or interviews), and a clear sequence of entry steps. It often features an induction or onboarding phase, ongoing support, and regular evaluations to determine progression or need for adjustments. Governance details specify who administers the model, who makes admission decisions, and how success is measured. In many cases, the model also sets out eligibility that allows gradual entry or phased participation.

The term is used across various sectors, including education and training, labor market and welfare programs, housing and urban development, and research projects. In education, inträdesmodeller can govern admission to bridging programs or specialized tracks. In labor market policy, they may structure programs for new entrants, long-term unemployed, or refugees, combining screening with tailored support and milestones.

Criticism of inträdesmodeller often centers on potential unintended exclusion, biases in assessment, administrative burden, and the need for regular evaluation to ensure relevance. Proponents argue that a well-designed model improves targeting, resource efficiency, and outcomes by clarifying expectations and providing structured support.
