Fagersta announced a new substitute for the summer – young people with their own epatractor for jobs in home care. The idea came from Malung, who tested the concept last summer.
The news that Fagersta would now do the same was met with many positive reactions in social media. But critical voices were also raised about how this would be implemented in practice. Now the municipality backs down and announces that there will be no EPA jobs this summer. But the idea has not been scrapped – now they are aiming to offer summer jobs next year.
