About Trygghetsfonden TSL

We are a job transition organisation and insurance system based on a collective labour agreement between Svenskt Näringsliv (The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise) and LO (The Swedish Trade Union Confederation), made in 2004. Approximately 80,000 companies and 2,000,000 blue-collar workers are connected to us.

As a blue-collar worker, if your contract is terminated due to shortage of work or illness, or after a fixed-term employment contract has expired, Trygghetsfonden TSL can help you get a new job, start your own business, or start studying. This is called job transition support. The support is included in the collective agreement that applies at your workplace and is free of charge for you.

If you have an active, on-going employment, Trygghetsfonden TSL can help you develop your skills to strengthen your future position in the labour market. The support includes professional career and study guidance as well as opportunities for financial support if you want to attend training and education. This is called skills development support.
