SAMpraktik

SAMpraktik is a Swedish term that translates to "work placement" or "internship" in English. It refers to a period of practical training or work experience undertaken by students, typically within vocational education programs or universities, as part of their curriculum. The primary goal of SAMpraktik is to provide students with hands-on experience in a professional environment, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom and the demands of the actual workplace.

These placements are usually supervised by both an academic institution and a host organization. Students are assigned tasks and responsibilities that align with their field of study, allowing them to develop specific skills, gain industry insights, and build professional networks. SAMpraktik can vary in length, from a few weeks to several months, depending on the educational program and the specific requirements. It is often a mandatory component of vocational training and a valuable optional or required element in higher education. The experience is intended to enhance employability and provide a clearer understanding of career paths.
