Field of work

iArbeid is an independent and national non-profit employer and advocacy organization for service providers within vocational rehabilitation, training and adapted employment. Our members mainly provide services on behalf of the National Welfare Administration (Nav) and municipalities. There are approximately 270 service providers that offer specially adapted work and vocational rehabilitation and training in Norway. Almost 7 out of 10 of these providers are members of iArbeid. Most of them are owned by municipalities. Others have non-profit organizations as their main stockholders.
