Work training, mentoring and other measures meant to help you into or back into work. What exists, and how do you get started?

Struggling to get into work, or need accommodations to stay in the job you have? NAV has several measures that can help. Which measure fits is agreed together with your NAV advisor.

Some of the measures

  • Work training: you get to try yourself out at a regular workplace, normally for up to one year. If you have reduced work capacity, it can be extended by up to six more months.
  • Mentor: NAV provides a grant to the employer to cover pay for a colleague or fellow student who gives you practical training and follow-up. Normally lasts up to six months, but can be extended for up to three years if there is a need for particular accommodation.
  • Other grants, such as inclusion grants to employers, can be combined with work training or a mentor to cover extra costs the measure brings.

How to get started

Contact your NAV office or your advisor. A measure is usually part of an activity plan, which you create together based on what you need to get into or back into work.

Finances while you are in a measure

If you participate in a work-related measure without regular pay or sick pay, you may be entitled to measure allowance (tiltakspenger). See also Additional allowances for coverage of expenses like travel and childcare while you are in a measure.

Tip: Be specific with your advisor about what you need to manage the job, whether it's practical training, accommodation, or something else. This makes it easier to find the right measure for you.
