Help shape the future workforce in Vestland by offering meaningful opportunities to the next generation – join the Summer Job West Campaign in Vestland.

What´s In It For Your Business

  • Summer jobs provide young people with their first introduction to working life, equipping them with experience, connections, and an understanding of local opportunities.
  • Your organisation invests in long-term recruitment while contributing to the local community. These jobs help employers build relationships with potential future employees and showcase opportunities within their industries.

Summer jobs are a strategic solution to workforce challenges in Vestland, where 64% of NHO´s 4.000 member companies struggle to find qualified professionals.

At the same time, many young people are missing out on valuable work experience.

Summer Job West

Summer Job West campaign invites companies, municipalities and public sector organisations in Vestland to join forces in creating more summer job opportunities for young people.

The goal is to mobilise employers across the region to increase the number of summer jobs, showcasing the many opportunities Vestland has to offer. 

By doing so, we aim to retain local talent, provide young people with an early connection to the workforce, and prevent social exclusion – while helping employers address recruitment challenges.

Get Involved

Visit the campaign’s website, which already features nearly 1,000 available positions – and more are being added regularly.

This campaign is driven by Vestland County Municipality, NHO Vestland, and NAV Vestland, with support from Fana Sparebank, Sparebanken vest, and Sparebanken Sogn og Fjordane.
