Urban districts

An offer to participate in the programme should be given no later
than 3 months after settlement.
The Introductory Act (Introduksjonsloven)
states that each participant should have an individual plan adapted
to needs and future plans. The plan is set up and adjusted in
cooperation with the contact person in your urban district. The
plan contains information on your professional and/or educational
background, what you want to do in Norway, how to reach your goals,
and other useful information: family situation, health, housing,
etc.
Language training and other qualifying courses are offered in
the urban districts; for instance language courses, computer training,
health courses and parent role guiding.
Adult education - The education authorities
The education authorities are responsible for providing classes
in Norwegian Language and Society, adult education on primary/lower
secondary and upper secondary level, and counselling on further
education and recognition of foreign credentials. For most participants,
language training will be the main activity in the Introductory
programme.
Initially, the Introductory programme will focus on language
training on a full-time basis. Some courses will combine classroom
instruction and practice in the workplace.
The counselling and information service
(IR-tjenesten)
The counselling and information
service in Rosenhof Adult Education Centre provides advise
and information on Norwegian language training, recognition of
foreign credentials, education and work in Norway, both to programme
participants and to programme coordinators/contact persons. This
can be done individually or in groups.
The counselling and information service is heading a project,
financed by UDI, to plan and organise the language training in
the Introductory programme in Oslo, finding the best possible
models for language training and cooperation between the urban
districts and adult education centres.
Through this website - www.velkommenoslo.no, the counselling
and information service provides updated information on Norwegian
language training options in Oslo.
