Increased need for competence in both the private and public sector

The job market in Sollefteå municipality is fundamentally based on basic industries such as electricity production, forestry and operations linked to this, for example sawmills, transport, haulage and forest management. Existing and potential establishments within the power industry place great demands on the municipality's supply of skills in the coming years, and this provides great potential for a flourishing career in Sollefteå.

Health care is a large professional category in the municipality due to Sollefteå Hospital's large catchment area. The retirements of the coming years open up the labor market for a younger generation regarding all public jobs (all areas of competence), which provides great opportunities for a career in the public sector and a life in Sollefteå municipality.

Tourism is an industry with strong growth, for example through Hotell Hallstaberget and Hallstaberget's ski resort.
