Norways group from Fredheim

The members of our Norwegian group consist of app. 10 people from 6 different countries. They have all basic knowledge of Norwegian, and five of them are already doing what we call "Language practice" out in a real job 2 times a week. That means that they are working every Tuesday and Wednesday instead of studying Norwegian at school, and by doing so, they learn words and expressions related directly to the work they do.

There are many advantages for a person doing Language practice:
- you learn more about an occupation
- you get a Norwegian network in colleagues and users
- you learn the language better
- you migth be lucky to get a paid job faster etc.

So far all five participants have got job offers beside their practice. This proves that by showing their capability, they manage to show their boss that they are good and positive workers, even with imperfect Norwegian skills (but the perfection will come!). In the future we will keep you informed about our improvement and how things work out for our participants, so please follow the blog!
