Norec exchange participant

Unfortunately, you as an individual can not apply to Norec for work exchange. Norec is not a agency that provides international jobs.

A company or a similar entity applies for a grant for an international exchange project. Then in turn they send employees to work in another country.

We encourage you to discuss with your employer the opportunities that a Norec exchange offers. See the link below for helpful tips.

For over 20 years, Norec has provided grants for companies and organisations to send employees on work exchanges. These exchanges take place between Norway and countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Here’s an example to illustrate:

A hospital in Norway has a collaboration with a hospital in India. This is called a partnership. They want to learn from each other.

A young Indian nurse and a young Norwegian nurse swap places for a year. This is known as an exchange.

During their exchange, the nurses face challenges, achieve successes, and experience both highs and lows. They acquire new skills, learn a new language, and immerse themselves in a different culture. In short, they gain valuable insights about both their profession and themselves.

When they return home, they use everything they have learned to help their hospitals provide better healthcare services to their local communities.

Before, during, and after the exchange, Norec offers courses and guidance for both the nurses participating in the exchange and their supervisors. This ensures that all parties gain maximum benefit from the exchange.
