My Experience with IT Education in SWEDEN

In this video, I share my experience studying UX/UI Design and Frontend Development at Chas Academy, along with everything you need to know about vocational schools (Yrkeshögskola / YH) in Sweden! What is a Yrkeshögskola (Vocational School)? An Yrkeshögskola (YH) is a form of post-secondary higher vocational education in Sweden designed in close collaboration with the labor market. Unlike traditional university programs that focus heavily on theory, YH education is tailored to meet current industry demands. Key features include: 1. Hands-on practical learning: Focus on real-world projects, modern tools, and industry-standard workflows. 2. LIA (Lärande i arbete): An essential part of the curriculum where you spend weeks or months on internships directly at companies, gaining invaluable work experience and networking before graduating. 3. Direct route to employment: Courses are only offered if there is a documented need for those specific skills in the job market, making it one of the quickest pathways to land a tech role. Whether you're looking to switch careers, break into the Swedish tech market, or decide between university and vocational education, I hope my journey helps you to make a decision! #yrkeshögskola #studyinsweden #freeeducation #techmarket #studyabroad #uxuidesign
