Under a scheme organised by the local authorities in the town of Soderhamn and by Sweden’s national employment office, anyone aged between 18 and 28 can volunteer to take a “Job Journey” to Oslo and attempt track down gainful employment.
Those who sign up get a ticket to the Norwegian capital and are put up in an Oslo youth hostel for a month, with Soderhamn council picking up the £20 a night bill. The package also includes on-the-spot guidance on how to get a job in Sweden’s northern neighbour.
Going from Sweden to Norway is like going from the light natural blonde section at the Playboy mansion to the slightly lighter natural blonde section at the Playboy mansion.
If you look at where this town is located its nowhere, and small. This is probably like 100 people they are talking about sending to Oslo to get work experience because their ain’t jack going on there. This is quite common with that area of northern Europe, and the fact its a news story here is funny.
