The aim of this study is to examine how supervisors at a Jobbcentrum works with the elder unemployed and what difficulties and challenges there may be in being able to guide elder unemployed into employment. This study is based on a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews with six different supervisors at Jobbcentrum. The theories used in the study are Empowerment and Self-Efficacy. At the same time, concepts such as age discrimination and Motivational conversations were used, to have a greater understanding of the work of supervisors. The results of the study show that Motivational interviewing, Empowerment and Self-Efficacy are an important starting point in the work with the unemployed. Another important result highlighted by the participants in the study is the difficulties that the elder unemployed encounters in the form of discrimination based on age, as well as obstacles in the form of not being considered to have the language skills or the educational background that employers seek.
