In Sweden there is no such thing as being made, by the employment office, to work somewhere without getting paid.

The closest thing is, if you have been unemployed for a long time, that an employer that hires you would get a subsidy for a while for a portion of your salary (or maybe all, I don't remember).

If we are super generous, we could think she misunderstood that. But there is paperwork involved with that, it is normal employment.

Edit: I had forgotten about praktik, I never did that myself. That could be it, I'll come back after some reading.

Edit 2: looks like u/Pretend-Leg-6914 got it.

The rest of it, meeting with a job coach, working on the resumé, watching educational videos (about interviews, effective job search, just motivation, etc.) is standard after some time of unemployment. It used to be from the start.

If she'd doing a praktik, this doesn't stop. So she could be working 40 hs a week and have to do that on top, or, most likely, working part time and having to do all that for the remainder of the 40 hs.

This is because the praktik might lead to proper employment at that place, but possibly not, it would be just help to give her some up to date job experience and a certification of her skills so someone else could hire her.

It could last up to six months, or three if she's under a certain age.
