There is a populous group of the so called trailing spouses in Norway – people who follow their partners and moved away from their home country. They are often highly educated professionals who leave their careers and social networks behind when they move to Norway for their partners’ job. ​ Our organisation helps trailing spouses re-build their network that would enable them to use their skills, knowledge and experience in a position they are qualified for. We want to facilitate integration and inclusion of the trailing spouses while utilising their potential for the benefit of the local community and the society as a whole. We want to complement the integration arrangements offered through already existing schemes. ​ We want to help create networks and find paid positions for the trailing spouses via engaging representatives from open-minded companies, organisations, and recruiters. We also want to organise lectures on work and non-work related topics, Norwegian language activities, and provide a meeting place for those who want to get to know new people and share a coffee and chat. The project aims to cater for the needs of trailing spouses with higher education (minimum bachelor degree) who speak fluent English or Norwegian.
