Your career at IKEA

It's never too late to learn something new or embark on a new career path. Adult education means deepening theoretical knowledge in a field in which practical experience has been gained for years. This is a great opportunity for people with work experience who want to continue their education as part of their daily work. The aim of adult education is to close gaps in theoretical knowledge. This keeps you relevant on the job market and allows you to develop professionally thanks to your greater expertise. IKEA is strongly committed to the adult education of its employees.
