Helsingborg is striving to keep skilled workers within the tourism industry. One example is WorkWalk, which annually involves around 1,200 teenagers who visit various companies in several sectors, including hospitality. In 2023, WorkWalk offered a career fair that attracted 2,500 students and 37 potential employers. Helsingborg is also home to Sweden's only upper secondary school with a hotel and tourism focus certified by the industry organisation Visita. In collaboration with the hospitality industry, education has been created according to the needs of the labour market. Another project is DM, a new marketplace concept placed in socially disadvantaged areas. IKEA has developed DM in close collaboration with the city, its citizens and other partners because IKEA wants to explore how they can actively ‘do more’ to develop cities and be a driving force in sustainable community development.
