About workntravel

workntravel was founded in 2022 by Helen Holgersson, who had spent several years working in the hospitality industry both in Sweden and abroad. After returning to Sweden from working in Latvia Helen noticed a significant challenge: there was a shortage of skilled workers in the hospitality industry.

During her time in Latvia Helen had met countless talented individuals eager to work abroad — why not connect these skilled workers with Swedish employers in need?

Searching for staff Helen noticed plenty of foreign workers found it difficult to understand the laws and regulations related to working in another EU-country. At the same time Swedish companies had difficulties finding foreign staff, as well as understanding the Swedish laws and regulations regarding employing foreign workers.  

"I realized there was a clear need for a service facilitating the recruitment of foreign staff in Sweden, then and there the idea for workntravel was born."

workntravel specialize in providing excellent service, combined with an extensive knowledge of the the necessary formalities associated with employing foreign staff. Complying with Swedish laws and regulations workntravel offers a one-stop solution for your recruitment needs.  

Empowering Latvia’s Future Through Education

At workntravel, we are proud to have helped many talented individuals from Latvia and other countries find meaningful work opportunities in Sweden. While Latvia, one of Europe’s less affluent nations, has seen impressive growth in recent years, it still faces challenges — especially when it comes to empowering its younger generation. For Latvia to continue its upward trajectory, it’s vital that more young people are given the chance to complete their education.

We at workntravel believe in supporting the potential of youth, which is why we’ve partnered with a Swedish foundation to make a difference. Through this collaboration, we proudly support the Livslust Study Support Program, which aims to give young Latvians from less fortunate backgrounds the chance to continue their education after ninth grade. Each academic year, we fund two promising students, helping them pursue vocational training rather than being forced to leave school early to support their families financially.

Livslust is a trusted, independent organization that has been providing tailored educational support and coaching in Latvia since 1994. With their expertise, we’re confident that these students will have the guidance they need to thrive.

Our vision doesn’t stop here—we hope to expand partnerships and, in the years, to come, offer even more opportunities for young people to succeed.
