There’s no shortage of ambition among international students in Norway. These are people who packed up their lives to learn here. They’ve sat through lectures in unfamiliar languages, navigated apartment hunting on Finn.no, and slowly cracked the social code of Friday tacos and cabin trips.
They’re not just here to study – they want to stay, contribute, and build something real.
At the same time, Norwegian companies are feeling the pressure. There are labor shortages in health tech, energy, software, sustainability – fields that shape the country’s future. These companies need talent with global insight, digital fluency, and the adaptability to thrive in a rapidly shifting world.
The students are here. The jobs are here.
The connection? Not quite.
Norway does have resources. HK-dir helps guide mobility. Erasmus+ supports exchange. NAV supports job seekers. UDI helps navigate visas.
But for the average student trying to figure out how to stay in Norway and work after graduating, it often feels like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual.
No single platform ties it all together. No central space for career guidance, internship access, visa clarity, or integration tools tailored to international students. It’s not for lack of good intentions. It’s simply a gap waiting to be filled.
This is where Scisco comes in.
Something that meets international students where they are and helps them become the colleagues, innovators, and community members Norway actually needs.
Norway already does so much right. This is just the next step: making sure the talent it attracts has a real shot at staying, thriving, and contributing.
