IT is very much people-oriented and girls are more than welcome!

I used these words in an interview with P4 Västmanland earlier today, as the main message I wanted to convey to study and vocational counselors (SYVs). About 60 SYVs had gathered in Aros Congress Center in Västerås on Wednesday morning. It was Vägledarforum, a collaboration between the County Administrative Board and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise that organized a seminar where, in addition to me, representatives from Västerås Science Park, byBrick, IT-Hantverkarna, the Armed Forces and Pingdom made presentations. All speakers emphasized the importance of social skills for those who work in the industry.

The interview in P4 Västmanland can be found here (Fredrik v E from about 5 minutes).
