Bakgrund: Samhället står idag, till följd av 40-talisternas förväntade pensionsavgångar, inför en omfattande generationsväxling. Således ställs allt högre krav på gynnsam kompetens- försörjning inte minst inom kommunal sektor. För att möta problematiken är Traineeprogram inom denna sektor en växande trend varför vi såg det som ett intressant studieobjekt att utvärdera Traineeprogrammet Skåne Nordväst.Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva och analysera traineeprogrammets bakgrund, process och utfall, att utifrån det organisations- pedagogiska perspektivet förklara programmets utfall på individ och organisationsnivå samt att diskutera principer för utveckling av traineeprogram.Metod: De metodologiska utgångspunkterna för den empiriska studien är en kvalitativt inriktad fallstudie med induktiv ansats och ramfaktormodellen som struktur.Resultat: Genom att studera traineeprogrammet i sin helhet framgick en rad kritiska moment som kan sägas ha haft påverkan på det i stort gynnsamma utfallet. För att skapa en förklarings- modell relaterades resultatet till former av utveckling och kollektiva lärprocesser. Detta diskuterades sedan med avseende på hur syftesuppfyllelsen i programmet är beroende av synen på utveckling, som formning eller emergent.

This Master's thesis examines segregation between Swedes and immigrants in school, and more specifically segregation between the two elementary schools Vikingaskolan and Tunaskolan in Lund. This case provides a particularly interesting puzzle, since Lund doesn?t have any pronounced immigrant districts, and was also recognized nationally as best municipality for its schools (2004). In this thesis we try to understand the segregation between the two schools in Lund as an implementation dilemma.The theoretical framework applies a model designed by Lennart Lundquist, which includes three potential causes for implementation problems: the implementer doesn?t understand the decision, the implementer can?t apply the decision, the implementer doesn?t want to carry out the decision.
