For experienced newcomers
New country. Real experience. A first local door.
Moving to Norway should not mean starting from zero. Geeta gives experienced professionals a first local opportunity: paid client work, a Norwegian track record and people who vouch for them.

The gap is not skill. It is the first local reference.
Employers in Norway often ask for Norwegian experience. You cannot get Norwegian experience without a first Norwegian job. For many skilled newcomers, that loop lasts years.
Geeta is built to break that loop. Experienced newcomers work on real client projects with us, next to people who know the local context.

Questions
What newcomers ask us.
Do you guarantee a job?
Opportunities depend on the client work we have and on fit. They do not replace an employer's hiring process. We will always tell you plainly what we can and cannot offer.
Is the work paid?
Yes. When you work on a client project, you are paid for that work at an agreed hourly rate. We do not offer unpaid placements.
How long does it last?
Most people work with us for three to six months, depending on the project. Many continue as part of the team or move to a role with a client or partner.
How do you choose people?
We look at your experience, your field and the client work we have at the time. We say plainly if there is no fit right now, and keep your details if you want us to.
Do I need to speak Norwegian?
No. Most of our project work happens in English. Norwegian helps with some clients, and we support you if you are learning.
How many places are there?
A small number each year, because each person works on real client work with close support.
What if my degree is not yet recognised?
You can still apply. We look at what you have done, not only at paperwork. HK-dir recognition can run in parallel.
