KTH employees have the opportunity to take part in life and career coaching to strengthen their employability and receive support in their personal and professional development. You apply actively together with your manager to the Life and Career Planning programme (LOK) in order to participate in the coaching.

With support from a coach, you develop a personal action plan that focuses on your current situation and your future development. Selected parts of the action plan are then further developed together with your manager and coach in a concluding meeting, with the aim of promoting your personal life and career development.

Life and Career Planning (LOK)

LOK is a programme that offers KTH employees individual guidance and coaching with an external coach from Starck&Partner. The purpose of the coaching is to provide support and serve as a sounding board for reflection and planning of continued development. The goal is to increase awareness of one’s own choices and decisions.

During the programme, participants develop their own action plan, which serves as a tool to clarify opportunities, increase self-awareness, and contribute to a better balance between work and private life.

The manager’s engagement in the individual action plan is highly valuable. Please feel free to contact us if you, as a manager, would like additional support in how to actively work with the action plan together with the employee.

Eligibility Requirements

Life and Career Planning is funded through local joint adjustment funds and is therefore free of charge for participants. KTH can only offer LOK once per employee. In addition, the following requirements must be met in order to be eligible to apply for Life and Career Planning (LOK):

  • You have a permanent position at KTH

  • You have been permanently employed at KTH for at least three years
