Järnkoll
Järnkoll is the name of a Jernkontoret initiative that aims to inspire young people to join us and shape a better future for all, based on employment in the steel industry. By casting light upon the steel industry, its companies and their employees as well as relevant educational programmes, Järnkoll fosters knowledge but also relationships between people.
The steel industry offers many things which are attractive to young people. These include innovation, sustainable development, leading edge technology, global presence and good career prospects. In general, people have limited knowledge of the steel industry and how the material we call steel contributes to creating a sustainable society. Järnkoll is working to increase our knowledge of this.
Järnkoll, moreover, is busy creating networks and contact points between high school students and employees in the steel industry who act as inspiring role models.
You are invited to contact Lars Ragnarsson or Amanda Källén if you should wish to know more about Järnkoll!
