Norway has great
demand for engineers,

and information
technology (IT) experts
Despite the financial crisis, Norway has great demand for engineers, health professionals and information technology (IT) experts, but few are aware of the job opportunities here, according to a new report.
The reason is limited available information abroad and stiff international competition, the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) states in the report.
"We need IT specialists and health care workers but there is international competition for the qualified experts," an UDI official said to Aftenposten. She also said that the fact that jobs abound in Norway is not well known abroad.
"Norway is not well known and poorly profiled as an attractive labor market," says project manager Marit Viggen.
"Norwegian companies are absent at foreign universities where other countries are active in capturing the best students. At a Moscow university dedicated to oil and gas studies, which Statoil sponsors, neither Statoil nor other Norwegian companies were listed as future employers," she added.
She also pointed to the difficulty in finding information about job opportunities in Norway, both online or through other channels, underlining this as another negative factor.
She stressed, however, that Norway is an attractive country to work in as it provides high wages, good living conditions, regulated working hours, professional development, social security and personal safety. Nature and outdoor activities are other important aspects that would draw and motivate foreign job-seekers to work in the country, she added.
"The cold climate, long distance and language barriers were the only negative factors that could keep workers away from Norway," Viggen said.
Meanwhile, the Immigration Directorate (UDI) also reported a 37 percent drop in the number of foreigners seeking work permits in Norway from 3,486 in January 2008 to only 2,210 in the same period this year.

tatizo sio kwamba watu hakuna,ila tabia yao wanorsk ya kuwanyima watu kazi ati kwa sababu hawajui kinorsk ndio inawafanya wafikie hali hii.kuna watu wanaprofessions nzuri tu ila hawaongei kinorsk na wanaishia kufanya kazi za ajabu ajabu,but they are good in english!!!!!!!!!
Lugha ni sehemu ya utamaduni wa jamii fulani. Wanorwejiani wanaheshimu na kuthamini sana utamaduni wao, hiyo ni pamoja na lugha yao. Wanajifunza Kiingereza mashuleni na wengi wanaweza kuwasiliana kwa Kiingereza. Lakini wanatumia lugha yao ya Kinorweji/Kinorwejiani kama sehemu ya utamaduni wao. Hilo si baya hata kidogo.
Kama hawamwajiri mtu kwa sababu huyo mtu hajui Kinorwejiani ni kosa? Si kosa hata kidogo nionavyo mimi. Kosa ni kama watakunyima kazi kwa sababu ya asili ya mtu anakotoka!!!! HILI NDILO KOSA!!!!
Hili ni wazo langu mimi nipendaye kutumia lugha zetu badala ya kukazania Kiingereza. Kana kwamba ukijua Kiingereza ndo´ mtu una elimu. Kiingereza ni lugha kama lugha zingine zozote.
Uingereza wanakotumia Kiingereza, bado kuna wageni hawapati kazi zinazofanana na elimu na ujuzi walio nao. Je, hapa tutawalaumu lipi Waingereza?
Jifunze Kinorwejiani. Kijue. UKIOMBA KAZI NA WAKIKUNYIMA HUKU UNAKIJUA KINORWEJI....BASI HAPO NDIPO TUTAONA UBAYA WAO!!!
Jamani tuthamini lugha zetu!!!!
norwegians are wabaguzi acheni utani,nafahamu watu ambao ni fluent in norsk,wamesoma na wamepasi test zao muhimu,lakini kazi zote wanapigwa chini.In my opinion wanatumia hii lugha kufanya ubaguzi wao.wizi mtuupu
Anonymous (25.2.2009) kunyimwa nafasi ya kazi hata kama hujui kazi ni ubaguzi. Hakuna ubishi hapa.
Ni kweli Wanorweji wengi ni wabaguzi. Wengi ubaguzi wao unatokana na woga wa taratibu, mila na tamaduni za kigeni.
Unayosema ni kweli. Kuna wengi wamekuja hapa wamesoma, wamefaulu vizuri kuliko hata Wanorweji waliosoma nao, lakini kazi hawapati. Jana kwenye taarifa ya habari ya TV 2 saa 21.00 ( saa 3 usiku) kuna jamaa ametoka Bosnia...mweupe kama wao. Kwenye chuo allichosoma jamaa, hakuna ambaye amewahi kupata marks za juu kama huyo jamaa anaitwa Hedi Sellami. Baada ya TV 2 kumtoa wiki kadhaa zilizopita, jana wakamtoa tena kuwa kapata kazi kwenye kampuni moja ya mafundi bomba kama meneja wa mauzo!!!!
Kesi za namna hii ziko lukuki hapa Norway.
