Sammen om en jobb
Sammen om en jobb runs a large six-month mentoring programme for highly educated immigrants and gives companies a structured way to engage employees as mentors in diversity and inclusion work.
About the organisation
Sammen om en jobb is a Norwegian nonprofit organisation launched in 2017. It runs a structured mentoring programme connecting highly educated immigrants and refugees with people from the Norwegian workforce. The organisation reports a community of several hundred jobseekers, mentors, companies and recruiters.
Mentoring programme and corporate partnerships
The mentoring journey lasts six months. Companies can partner with the organisation so their employees participate as mentors for international jobseekers. Mentors receive training, resources and meeting structures, with regular meetings throughout the programme. Partner companies also have tools for following participation and activity.
What this means for a corporate customer
This is primarily a cross-company, social-impact mentoring programme focused on labour-market inclusion and diversity, rather than a conventional provider of freely designed internal talent programmes. The model can nevertheless be relevant to organisations that want to develop employees' mentoring skills while strengthening diversity and inclusion efforts.
Scale and partnerships
The organisation states that its work covers more than 450 jobseekers from over 60 nationalities. Its official website refers to collaborations with companies including Oda, Wilhelmsen Ships Service and Hydro.
