Join a Job Network – or start your own!
A job network is a group of 5-9 professionals who go through an 8-module program helping each other advance their careers in Norway. The program is based on peer-support, where you help and get help from other professionals within your field or from your region. Join an existing job network or start your own!

Program and modules
Below is an overview of the eight modules of the program, along with what you can expect to gain from each one:
Getting to Know Each Other: Start by meeting the group, sharing your career goals, and discovering how you can support each other. This first session builds trust and helps you feel at home from day one.
Job Search Planning: Learn how to structure your job search with a clear, realistic action plan. You’ll leave with a roadmap that makes the process more organized and less overwhelming.

LinkedIn Mastery: Strengthen your LinkedIn profile and learn how to use the platform strategically for networking and job searching. You’ll gain practical habits that increase your visibility to employers.
Networking Skills: Build and activate your network together with the group. You’ll practice introductions, explore new connections, and learn how networking can open doors to hidden opportunities.

How to join a job network?
New job networks are primarily formed at the beginning of each semester. By signing up below we’ll try to match you to a relevant network of other professionals. Note that we cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to find a network for everyone, as this depends on whether there are other people sharing your background or location. If there are no job networks that fits your background or location, or if you want to contribute extra to the community, you can also start your own!
How to start a job network?
Starting your own job network is easy and rewarding. We provide everything you need to guide the group through the program, so that being a facilitator should be much more work than simply being a participant.
