IPS and IPS ung
  • IPS is an international model for work inclusion, and is short for “Individual Placement and Support”. 
  • The main aim is to get people quickly into jobs even if they have health issues. Working is part of the treatment.
  • Out of the Nordic countries, Norway has been the one using the IPS model the most. 
  • IPS has led to good results in terms of work participation.
  • IPS ung is an adapted IPS model. IPS ung was set up in early 2022 and provides measures aimed at people under 30 who are undergoing active treatment and have reduced work or functional capability, who suffer from moderate to serious mental health issues and/or have substance abuse problems.
  • IPS ung is a joint initiative between Norway’s Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Health and Care Services. The programme is operating in all of Norway’s counties.
  • The aim is to help more young people get ordinary employment and to increase the completion of education and apprenticeship programmes.
