Oil enthusiasm reaches Norway’s youth

Norway’s oil industry is responsible for a large number of jobs in Norway. A report recently launched by Norsk Olje og Gass (Norwegian Oil Industry Association) has shown that the oil industry accounts for around 250,000 full-time jobs in Norway.

The large interest and investment in the oil and gas industry is attracting the next generation of Norwegian youth. A recent survey showed that almost half of Norwegian teenagers between the age of 15 and 19 years old are aiming for a career in the oil industry. The survey, conducted by Ipsos MMI – a research company, also showed the number of young people that now consider the offshore industry as an attractive option has grown by 7 percent in comparison to last year.

Due to the growth of the oil and gas market, TUjobs will be posting daily new job vacancies on their website, making it easier for people to apply for international jobs.
