Swedish term or phrase: uppdragsutbildning
This is a document from a cleaning company describing what training their staff have undergone. It appears alongside words such as "säkerhetsrutiner", "grundutbildning i städkunskap" "HLR utbildning" etc. I just can't work out what uppdragsutbildning would mean? Thanks!

  -> Thanks Anna. I've also found a past Proz question (see discussion) for this term

neutral  Adrian MM.: Totally meaningless Swenglish in the UK - and in Ireland, I'm afeard.
17 hrs
  -> I actually "sympathize" with your comment. It is the official Swedish translation but does it work,? That is another, valid question

job-placement / 'on-the-job' / training


Explanation:
No, on-the-job doesn't mean what my British and Irish mates think it is, though my UK university contemporaries' 'sandwich' or industrial-stint Swedish-learning experience in the summer of det Karolinska Institutet in Stockholmnear my Frescati Uni. digs (many more anecdotes to follow) - see the web ref. - would suggest otherwise.

neutral  SafeTex: Hello Adrian. Please see my remark in discussion

  -> 'Uppdragsutbildning är en ren affärsmässig verksamhet.'

disagree  Christopher Schröder: It’s the opposite of on the job // affärsmässig means commercial, not on the job
1 hr
  -> No. It isn't and it is again facile of you to suggest such for house cleaners http://www.sbkf.se/1291 'Uppdragsutbildning är en ren affärsmässig verksamhet.' // as a non-facile translation, affärsmässig means in the course of a business.

disagree  Anna Herbst: Misunderstanding of terminology. See cited references.

  -> Job placement training doesn't exclude outsourced, commissioned training courses. Other-wise, it is unwise to guess that what form of such 'education' had been meted out to the cleaning personnel.
