Bjarne Brøndbo, the employer who didn’t say no after the first attempt

“Cooperation is important when we want to help young people who have become idle,” says Randi Nyheim Aglen at the NAV youth team in Namsos. The youth team was established in February and is a priority for the NAV office.

“We offer tailored solutions and cooperate very well with employers like Bjarne Brøndbo. A good dialogue with employers is a necessary part of getting young people into internships. Many employers want to know that NAV can be there if the internship breaks down,” says Randi Nyheim Aglen. 

The youth team cooperates with the follow-up service in upper secondary schools. The follow-up service is responsible for getting school leavers back into education or other tailored training. The county council career centre can provide additional advice on which opportunities are available for young people. The aim is that no one is left with nothing to do.
