DET GRÖNA KUVERTET

School prepares you for a lot of things. Your first job isn’t always one of them. Together with McDonald’s, we created Gröna Kuvertet (The Green Envelope) to help final-year high school students prepare for working life – building on its experience as Sweden’s largest youth employer.

Problem

More than half of Swedish high school students were unsure where to find information about working life. At the same time, 87% wished their school had done more to prepare them for entering the workforce.

Solution

Our solution was Gröna Kuvertet (The Green Envelope), inspired by the Swedish Pensions Agency’s iconic Orange Envelope but designed for those just entering working life. We sent it to all final-year high school students in Sweden, with practical advice on workplace rights, responsibilities and their first job.
