What Is Job Shadowing in Norway?
Norway's energy, maritime, and sustainability sectors offer high-quality Erasmus+ placements in one of Europe's wealthiest and most innovative nations. Concrete reasons institutions choose Norway for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Norway is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Norway. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in energy & sustainability, maritime & shipping, technology and tourism & outdoors, brief the host on the observation focus, organise accommodation and insurance, and provide on-the-ground support. We also host your students for internships, so a single contract covers both your staff and learner flows.

What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Vetted institutional hosts
Across Norway's energy & sustainability corridor anchored in Oslo, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Schools, training centres and companies in energy & sustainability, maritime & shipping, technology matched to your observation focus.
Inspected accommodation
Coordinators based in Oslo, Norway make this concrete for every energy & sustainability cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Hotels or vetted apartments near the host site in Norway.
Insurance & liability
In Norway this stage flows through our Oslo regional team covering energy & sustainability hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Travel, medical and civil-liability coverage for the full mobility window.
Observation programme
Built around Norway's energy & sustainability host expectations from Oslo outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Day-by-day schedule co-designed with the host so the visit produces concrete outcomes.
