The Personal Data Act is intended to prevent the violation of your personal integrity when personal data is processed. Your personal data may only be processed if you have given consent or if this is permitted under the Personal Data Act or other legislation.
Personal data is information that can be linked in one way or another to you personally. This can be data such as your name or personal ID number, but also information such as your telephone number. Photos can also be a form of personal data, if you can clearly be recognised in them.
When you contact us at Göteborg & Co using the form on our website, by email or an e-service and press “Send”, you automatically consent to letting us store your data. Please remember that you have the right to ask us to delete, update or correct your data.
“Processing” is a broad term. According to the legislation, collection, registration, dissemination and processing are some of the ways that personal data can be processed. Göteborg & Co processes your personal data in accordance with the law. In the event that we ask for your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent. The processing of personal data that is needed in order to fulfil an agreement with you or to fulfil a legal obligation is permitted without consent. We only save your personal data for as long as is necessary for the intended purpose of processing. In certain cases we must comply with the Archives Act or other legislation, which means that we cannot delete data. This may mean that a piece of data that has been removed from one system because it is no longer needed may be kept in another system where the personal data is still required.
Göteborg & Co is the personal data controller for the processing of personal data on this website, in emails and for processing data within the company. The owner is the City of Gothenburg.
We can be contacted regarding our processing of personal data at info@goteborg.com.

We may then need to save and store your information in our archive. This is one example of an occasion when we process your personal data. We may also do so when you subscribe to some information from us.
In most cases you have the right to be informed when we start processing your personal information and why we are doing so. You also have the right, free of charge, to request information on whether your personal data is being processed by us and, if so, which data this involves. You must personally write to us to request this information. You have the right to receive this information within one month. We also need to verify that you are the person you claim to be. Our contact details are given above.
This means that even if you withdraw your consent and the data based on that consent is no longer processed, your personal data may still be kept by us for other purposes, such as to comply with other laws that we are obliged to follow.

Over a three-month period, more than 120 international students and PhD students took part in Unimeet Gothenburg’s exclusive Career Development Bootcamp. For the first time, the programme was delivered both in person and online, covering topics such as CV writing, intercultural communication and personal branding.
Between February and May, over 120 international students and PhD candidates from Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg took part in Unimeet Gothenburg’s Career Development Bootcamp. Before the programme began, participants had identified career-related challenges they wished to develop in and receive support with, which were addressed during the course of the programme. New for this year was that in-person sessions were followed up with digital meetings, rather than a fully digital bootcamp. This gave students the opportunity to hear from a wide range of speakers within the context of the Swedish labour market. At the first meeting, Anna-Lena Johansson, Head of Competence Management at Business Region Göteborg, spoke about the city’s industries, and Charlotta Brynger, Intercultural Expert at CueMe, gave a talk on how intercultural communication and skills can help to understand and navigate Swedish workplace culture.

CV writing, networking and mentorship were the focus of the second meeting. Matilda Svensson, a career advisor at International House Gothenburg, explained how to tailor your CV to the Swedish job market and gave several examples of how to phrase things in a cover letter. Fredrik Karlsson from Öppet Hus spoke about the importance of mentorship and how networking works in practice. The participants had many questions during the meeting, which led to interesting discussions and a few laughs. At the final session, Nelly Andersson, founder of JTC LinkedIn, spoke about how to build a personal brand and why this is particularly relevant for international students starting their careers in a new culture.
Each in-person session was followed by a digital follow-up meeting organised by Unimeet, together with Chalmers’ career counsellor Kajsa Bengtsson. Speakers from the previous session also attended these meetings, and participants were able to bounce ideas and thoughts off them. Participants were also given a handbook to work through during the bootcamp, which contained hands-on exercises and reflections linked to the content of the sessions.

Participants felt that the programme had been valuable:
– It reassured things I’ve already heard before and gained some practical skills I could return in the future. I also like the reflection parts of the handbook, it makes me dig deeper in my practice. It has been inspiring, thank you!
– I’ve learned to apply myself. Step out of my comfort zone and adjust to the Swedish way of doing things in the job market.
– Overall, the most significant takeaway is the shift from a “job-seeking mindset” to a more strategic and long-term approach to career building, combining personal branding, networking, and continuous learning.
Unimeet Gothenburg is a collaboration between the University of Gothenburg, Chalmers University of Technology, and The Trade & Industry Group at Göteborg & Co, aimed at strengthening the exchange between the universities’ international students and the business community, creating cultural and social meeting places, as well as networking opportunities.
