Opportunity Day highlights the opportunities and business benefits of inclusion and diversity. We create arenas where employers and job seekers meet. Since 2016, we have been inspiring and facilitating employers to recruit with greater diversity and to build more inclusive organisations. It's good, both for your business and for Sweden.

At Knowit, we have for many years carried out equality work, which has led to our being a significantly more equal and inclusive workplace in terms of gender. We are still proud of the results we have managed to achieve, which were particularly noticed when we received the award "the stock exchange's most equal company" in 2019. Today, the focus is on taking the next step and also ensuring greater diversity linked to ethnicity, background, age, etc. We are sure that in this way we both create better solutions for our customers and contribute to a better society in general. Today, we support several initiatives that work with these issues and are happy to contribute to Opportunity Day's work."

Despite the economic situation, there are still many companies that want to recruit. It is an insane waste of resources that we then have competent people in Sweden who do not enter the labor market or do not work with the skills they have. We need to create occasions where these worlds can meet.
Rudolph Anthony, Rregional manager, Swedish Business Administration
"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with Opportunity Day and find new colleagues who want to join us in creating a safer world! We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion contribute to innovation, employee well-being and better decision-making. By having a diversity that reflects society, we can succeed in creating a safer world. With the help of Opportunity Day, we can further broaden our recruitment pool and reach more unique and competent employees who all add value to us and our customers."
Cristina Petrescu, CEO Securitas Sweden

"Diversity not only leads to greater creativity, job satisfaction and better decision-making. It also creates attractiveness and a broader recruitment base in an industry where more people are needed. Even in tough times with a worsening economic situation, the skills issue is important. In the long term, we need more people to build. Everyone is welcome and everyone is needed in the construction industry!"
Ann-Sofie Lind, Responsible for skills supply, Construction Companies in the West.
"Länsförsäkringar Göteborg och Bohuslän is proud of its partnership with Opportunity Day. Our commitment extends beyond insurance and banking services.

Lisa Bragée, Sustainability Manager, Länsförsäkringar Göteborg and Bohuslän
"With Opportunity Day as a partner, we can create more meetings and arenas where job seekers and employers meet. It is only when people meet and communicate that we can really start to bridge the gaps between all the skills available among job seekers, and the demand and needs of our employers. When skills and demand find each other, we all benefit. It's a good deal for employers, but it's also good for our city and for society at large."
Said Niklund, City Director, City of Trollhättan
