Careers in International Affairs - Event Recap

What does a career in international affairs actually look like, and how do you get there?

These were some of the key questions explored as a large group of curious and driven students and young professionals came together for an inspiring evening with SwedCham Young Professionals.

The event featured a fireside conversation with Helena Reitberger, Representative, and Johan Henriksson, Deputy Representative, from the Swedish Representative Office in Taipei. Through their honest reflections and personal stories, participants gained valuable insights into both the everyday realities and different pathways into international affairs.

Beyond understanding the role itself, the discussion also explored how to approach a career in the field, what qualities are valued, and the many different ways to get there. Students had the opportunity to ask the questions they have always wanted to ask, making the session open, engaging and fun.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Helena Reitberger and Johan Henriksson for generously taking the time to share their experiences and perspectives with us. A special thank you also to Helena for hosting us at the Residence and for the kind hospitality.

We would also like to thank our YP Board members 蔡鳳駿 Fong-Chun Tsai, Oline Brevik Svensson, Yu-Ting Yeh, and Alexander Pålstam, Jeremy Lin and Sigrid Hallafors, for their continuous support and contributions in making this event possible.
