For unsolicited applications, consult the yellow pages (Gulesider) to find addresses of the targeted companies (available in Norwegian only).

You can also take part to the Leonardo Da Vinci European programme to acquire a first professional experience in Europe, or to enrol in a training course in another European state (provided that you have a specific professional project to achieve).

Information designed for citizens from outside the EU-EEA:
