Nordic job exchange hopes to bounce back from Corona

Many Nordic cooperation platforms have been hit by the Corona pandemic. One of the higher profile ones is Nordjobb, the Nordic mobility programme for young workers. Summer jobs should be starting up now, but many are still waiting to hear from their prospective employers.

This is Nordjobb
Nordjobb
  • All Nordic and EU citizens aged 18 to 30 can apply for a Nordjobb. Scandinavian language skills are required.
  • Jobs can be found across the Nordic region in sectors like care, tourism, agriculture and fisheries. These are summer or seasonal jobs paid by the employer in line with collective agreements.
  • Each year, some 5,000 applicants compete for 800 jobs (considerably fewer this year because of Corona). Most come from Sweden and Finland. 
  • Nordjobb is run by the Norden Association and is fully financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The organisation arranges leisure programmes and accommodation at reasonable prices. 
  • Nordjobb’s next budget will be cut down to around three million Danish kroner (approximately €390,000).
