This pocket money receives an aupair 15 x per year. That means 3 times more. Pocket money X 3 / 12

Do you want to be part of the Norwegian culture? As an au pair you will take part in the everyday life of a Norwegian family. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a different culture and to broaden your horizons. Norway has an incredible nature to offer. High mountains, pine forests, lakes, fjords and a beautiful coastline. The population consists only of 4.5 million people, scattered around the country’s
324.000 km2. The capital Oslo has approximately 500.000 inhabitants and is the largest city in Norway. People mostly live in towns and villages, but remember there are not many big cities in Norway. The transportation system however, is highly developed. Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world.
The family unit is very important in Norway. Families are generally small. Most families own their own home or apartment. Over one third also own or share a cabin in the mountains or by the sea. Spending time in these cabins is a favourite family activity. Among Norwegian children and teenagers it is common to be a member of a sports club, school band and/or different youth organisations. We recommend the au pairs to join in some of these activities, as it is a great way to meet.

What are your tasks as an au pair? As an au pair you will live as a member of the family, look after the children and help with household duties. The au pair works 5 hours per day, and maximum 30 hours per week. You are entitled to one day off per week, and this day should at least be twice a month on a Sunday. Your duties and working hours as an au pair will vary depending on the ages of the
children and the family’s needs. The following list includes most duties:

Child care
• help the children getting dressed and fed in the morning
• be responsible for them during the day
• play with them
• go for walks with them
• bring them to and from school/kindergarten
• help with homework
• do simple cooking for the children, bathe them and put them to bed Household duties
• clean up after the children
• do the laundry, iron
• clean dishes
• vacuuming and dusting

You are not responsible for cleaning the windows, mowing the lawn, doing other heavy housework tasks or taking care of the family’s animals unless you have agreed to do so.

Who may apply
• If you are between 18-30 years of age
• If you have good child care experience
• If you have good knowledge of English
• If you are motivated for a stay in a different culture, away from your home, family and friends.

in the northern part of Europe Most families prefer female applicants and non-smokers. It is excellent if you have some knowledge of Norwegian. You will as an au pair be responsible for children all day, there fore, you need to be familiar and comfortable with children. When fulfilling these requirements, we will do our best to find a host family for you.

What do you receive as an au pair? Pocket money: In the family’s home you are entitled to have your own room. You will receive free room and board and pocket money amounting to NOK 3000,- per month. In Norway an au pair-job is looked upon as normal work, hence taxes must be paid. The tax percentage is estimated by the value of food, accommodation and your monthly salary. Normally an au pair receives app. 2500,- net per month. At the end of your stay you are also entitled to 10,2 % in vacation money. In addition to pocket money you will receive NOK 400,- per month in travel card.

Language course: You have the opportunity to take Norwegian classes, or other courses that you find suitable in your spare time. You are responsible for the cost of your own language course.

Homesickness: Everyone who travels abroad for a longer period of time will experience culture shock and homesickness in some senses. It is very important to be aware of this before you apply. If you are used to travelling and living away from home, the adjustment to an au pair-stay tend to be moother. It is only natural to experience a culture shock and be homesick. When this happens you our best advice is to talk with your host family, your friends, and activate yourself with hobbies, sports etc.

Expectations: You can expect to get a family that would comply with the rules outlined in this brochure. You can expect that Atlantis will match you with the best possible family for you. You can always contact us if you need assistance during your stay.

What if problems occur?: We always advice you to communicate openly with the family in order to solve any problems or misunderstandings that may occur. If you do not feel this helps, you may contact Atlantis. We will assist you and help sorting out problems you may have with your host family. In case of emergency you may contact our 24 hour phone number +47 48 02 63 52. If necessary, we will try to find you a new host family if one is available at the time. Atlantis can never guarantee a replacement, and if we do not have a suitable family for you, you must be prepared to return home. Both you and the
family have two weeks notice of termination of contract. If a new family is found for you, you need to apply for a change in the residence permit. This is done at the local police office where the new family lives. The new host family assists you with these formalities.

Insurance: You will be covered by the Norwegian Health Service during your stay, and your host family will register you there. This means that if you get ill during your stay, you will only have to pay a small fee for the medical treatment at the hospital or the doctor (public health care). As an Atlantis au pair you will be covered by travel insurance as well. You will receive more information about this further in the application process. If you get ill, your host family is entitled to provide you with free board and lodging. If the illness last longer than two weeks, Atlantis will consult the doctor and decide whether or not
you should return home.

Travel expenses: You must pay your own travel to and from Oslo. We advice you to contact a travel agency, and ask them about the cheapest fare. It is usually cheaper to buy a return ticket than two one way tickets. If your host family live outside Oslo the family will pay your ticket from Oslo to their home. Remember to bring money with you in order to cover at least the first week’s expenses, and be aware that Norway is an expensive country for most foreigners.

Non-EU citizens: Citizens from outside the EU must NOT enter any of the Nordic countries before you have received your work permit. Also, please make sure that you have the necessary transit visa for whichever countries you need to travel through on you way to Norway! You cannot apply for a work permit before you have been invited to a host family and received a signed contract from them. This contract has to be enclosed together with the application for work permit. You cannot go to Norway or any of the Scandinavian countries before you have the permit. When you have received it, you must arrange your travel, and plan the exact date of arrival with the family.

After entry: Within the first week of your stay in Norway, you have to register at the local police station in order to receive your final residence permit. Furthermore, you must arrange for a personal number at the Registration Office. The Social Security Office must be notified of your presence in Norway so you will be able to receive medical help while in the country. Lastly, you must be registered at the Tax Office. Your host family will help with all these formalities.

Health examination: After arrival you have to present yourself for examination for tuberculosis, mass radiography, tuberculin tests and if necessary vaccination against tuberculosis. The host family will assist you with this.

Application process: When you have read this brochure thoroughly, and decided that this is an opportunity that suits you, we will need following: Please note that everything must be written in English or Norwegian.
• 1 completed application forms
• 1 passport photos
• At least 2 personal recommendations, at least one should be about your child care experience
• 1 medical report
• 1 criminal record
• Copy of passport
• Education diplomas if any
• 1 personal letter addressed to your future host family
• Some pictures of you, your family, friends and if possible together with children you have looked after

After we have received your complete application and you have been accepted to the program we will start the process of finding you a suitable host family. When we believe we have found a host family for you, we send them your application. The family then often calls you directly in order to talk to you personally and see if you are interested. If they decide that
they want to invite you, we send you their formal invitation, information on how to apply for work permit (if necessary), complete information about the host family, brochures about Norway, contracts from the family and other necessary information. You will receive a complete list of other au pairs in Norway after arrival.

When do I apply? You should apply at least 4 months before you want to come to Norway. The matching process may in some cases be shorter than this. We always try to place you according to your desired date of arrival, but we can never guarantee
that we will be able to place you at a specific time. If there are sudden changes in your plans, either new arrival dates or you cancel, we must notified immediately.

For how long and when can I go? The minimum stay as an au pair is six months. The maximum stay is two years (you will need to extend your work permit after 12 months). The majority of families prefer to have an au pair for 9-12 months. We place au pairs throughout the year, but most au pairs arrive in the summer/early autumn.

Where can I go? Our host families are located all over Norway. We recommend that you are as flexible as possible with regard to area of placement. We can not guarantee a placement in a specific village or town, and advice you to write South, East, West or North of Norway as a wish on your application. Please be aware of the fact that there are no «big» cities in Norway, and
remember it is your host family and not the place that makes the stay successful!

The American Hospitality Academy has been providing comprehensive internships for hospitality students around the world for 20 years. More than 1000 students from 100 academic institutions in the United States and foreign countries participate annually in the Academy's training program. AHA works in collaboration with American-based hospitality businesses whose resort properties serve as practical training sites. In addition to practical training, a network of hospitality educators from prestigious universities around the world actively works with the Academy as global training partners.

An established International Cultural Exchange Program, the AHA began providing structured training opportunities for students seeking a career in the hospitality industry in 1986. The AHA is designated by the United States Department of State as a sponsor of an Exchange Visitor Program in accordance with the administrative regulations issued under the Mutual Education and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961.

Our Mission:To develop future hospitality leaders through practical training, education, and cultural exchange while fostering international understanding, goodwill and friendship.

The AHA strives to develop hospitality leaders of tomorrow who have a positive attitude, demonstrate strong work values, lead by example, encourage tolerance, celebrate diversity and promote peace around the world.

Our Vision:To promote peace through practical training and tourism. Every day, at hotel and resort front desks around the world, social and cultural barriers are broken down with a smile, and one simple word: Welcome. As representatives of their countries, schools and The American Hospitality Academy, our AHA Trainees are encouraged and challenged to both honor their roles and hone their skills as Cultural Ambassadors, promoting world peace and friendship through tourism.

It is our vision that students who complete the AHA internship will have developed an appreciation for all cultures, and will have come to the realization we are all united in a common bond of humanity.

Program Purpose: The WISE Agricultural Program has been developed to allow international agriculturalists to pursue training in the area of agri-business in order to improve their knowledge of advanced agrarian practices, techniques, methodologies and expertise, while enhancing their knowledge of American culture.  A customized training plan is prepared for each participant that outlines specific objectives and phases of training and supervision and evaluation procedures to be used during the program. 

Program Availability Enrollment in the WISE Agricultural Training and Internship Program is open throughout the year.  There are no pre-set intakes or start dates.

Program Duration The WISE Agricultural Training and Internship program is typically a 12 month program.  On occasion, there may be reasons for limiting the program to as little as 9 months. 

Participant Eligibility:  WISE has outlined minimum eligibility requirements for applicants for the Agricultural Program. ALL participants must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have either a round trip ticket or sufficient money for return airfare home
• Have proficient English skills to perform internship activities

Internship applicants/participants must: Either be currently enrolled in, and pursuing studies at a degree- or certificate-granting post-secondary academic institution outside the U.S. or graduated from such an institution no more than 12 months prior to his or her exchange visitor program start date. Enter the U.S. to participate in a structured and guided work-based internship program in his or her specific academic field. View Presentation.

Training applicants/participants must: Possess either a degree or professional certificate from a foreign post-secondary academic institution and at least one year of prior related work experience in his or her occupational field acquired outside the U.S., or five years of work experience outside the U.S. in his or her occupational field. Enter the U.S. to participate in a structured and guided work-based training program in his or her specific occupational field. WISE has developed a network of partners we work with in many countries around the world.  Participants can be directed to representatives in their home country that will help them complete the application process and discuss their goals. View Presentation.  

Host Information:Host farmers and agribusinesses will benefit from participation in the Agricultural Training and Internship Program by having intelligent, well motivated, well educated and eager young adults contribute to their operations.  These young agriculturalists will contribute to your operation in many ways.  From helping to put a crop in, manage and harvest it to livestock and simple farm experiences,  participants have proven to be dependable and reliable.  Most participants have had extensive hands-on-training in their own country and are anxious to apply their current skills and knowledge in day to day operations on an American agricultural operation. Host farmers and agribusinesses are required to provide housing and a monthly stipend to cover trainees’ expenses.  The monthly expense stipend is a static amount based on the projected average weekly hours.

Stipend: Trainees will receive approximately $700 to $900 monthly depending on the specific placement and the average training week duration.  Very few training sites pay an hourly wage.

Meals: Occasional meal provided by host, but normally the trainee’s responsibility.  Trainees will need to be able to prepare their own meals

Insurance: Provided and paid by WISE.

Participant Arrival and Orientation Relocation and starting in a new position are two of the most stressful events in life, but they can be exciting, positive experiences.  When preparing for arrival, hosts should consider the types of assistance that would be beneficial from a foreign host and participants should try to consider what would make a good impression on a host.  The first few weeks will be very challenging for both participants and hosts.  Participants will be looking for direction on how to accomplish their goals efficiently and be a productive part of the organization. Providing detailed information and outlining objectives to be accomplished and how to accomplish them will be appreciated.  This will allow for a smoother transition at the training site. 

Multicultural Program Requirements Cultural exchange is an important aspect of this program.  All participants should be encouraged to interact with American citizens.  Interaction with groups, families, professional societies, religious, community and company-related social activities should be encouraged.

What is the LSI Paid Placement Program?
The Paid Work Experience Program, at the end of a course with LSI, offers practical work experience within selected fields. The program is designed for people who want to gain experience in the specific area, improve their English and earn some money whilst they are learning and working. It is recommended that you obtain both your Student Visa and your Work Permit (with our support documents) before you leave your home country because of the difficulty in doing so after you have arrived in Canada.

Can I do any position? Am I suitable for the program?
Entry level positions can be found especially in the hospitality industry (for example, banquet serving), or in the food and catering industry (for example, as a chef). You will receive industry-specific training prior to starting in your job. Professional placements can be made in fields such as IT or Accounting, and long-term placements can be made in other professions.

Do I need to take a course at LSI?
Yes, you need to take an 8-12 week English course for short-term placements or a 24, 36, or 48 week ISY course for long-term placements; this will be followed by the full time work placement of the same duration as the course.

How much will it cost?
The paid work placement fee for entry level and short and long-term positions for professional positions (6 months or longer) required at the time of registration. The overall price of work placement will consist of the placement fee plus the cost of your tuition, accommodation and living expenses.

What level of English do I need?
For entry level positions, a Middle-Intermediate level of English is preferred, but a Lower-Intermediate level can be acceptable. For other positions, students need to be at least Upper Intermediate in level. It is important to note that you will be in competition with other applicants and you will need to pass an interview with the employer in order to succeed in the placement. If LSI feels that your level of English is not sufficient to pass an interview, you may be asked to take additional English classes.

How long are the placements?
The minimum period for a hospitality position is 2 months and the recommended period is 3 months. The minimum period for a professional, full time placement is 6 months, and durations of 36 weeks or 48 weeks are possible through LSI. (In general, positions are available for various amounts of time depending on the length of your course at LSI. In all placements, the length of time spent in the workplace cannot be more than the length of the course studied at LSI.)

Will I have to do an interview?
Yes; your interview might be in person or via telephone. LSI will give you all the details of this beforehand on an “Interview Confirmation Sheet”. Please make sure that you look at the website and location of the placement before the interview; if you do not understand anything please ask us to explain it. There is also a list of tips on the interview confirmation sheet and you should always follow these. (If you do not follow our guidelines you may not receive a placement.)

Where will I live?
Accommodation is optional and not a requirement for LSI or the work experience program. Students are free to secure their own housing or ask LSI for assistance. (If students are placed outside the city in seasonal resorts, low cost housing is often made available by the employer.)

Where will my placement be?
Your placement could be anywhere in Canada. Many of the placements are in British Columbia or Ontario (and often in the Vancouver or Toronto areas), but you must accept the fact that you can be placed anywhere in the Canada. Alberta, for example, is one province where many paid placements are being made. Due to the nature of the industry you cannot request a specific location.

How much will I get paid?
The amount or kind of remuneration offered varies from company to company and from position to position. Some companies may pay a flat fee, while some prefer to pay an hourly wage; in some cases employers may offer free room and board instead of a cash payment.

Do I need to pay tax?
Yes you will have to pay tax from your salary but in some cases you can claim it back. (Some agencies and accounting firms will offer a cash-back service on tax claims.) Please ensure that you ask your employer or local tax office for the documents that govern your employment in Canada.

Do I need a visa?
Yes, you need a Student Authorization for your course at LSI, and you will need to obtain a Canadian work permit.

Do I need health insurance?
Health insurance is recommended for all students who study at LSI. Depending on your length of stay as a student in Canada, you can qualify for provincial health insurance during your stay.

Is there an age requirement?
Yes, you must be at least 19 years old for an entry-level position, and should be 21 for a professional position. (It is expected that candidates for a long-term, professional placement will already have three years of professional experience in their home country.)

Is there a particular start date?
No there isn't, but demand from different businesses will vary depending on the season when you apply; a flexible start period and end period must always be given to meet the changing demands from the particular business industry. For example, if a business is seasonal, applications will have to be received at the beginning of the season.

Can two people apply together?
You can apply as a couple and we will do our best to place you together but cannot promise to do so.
This is because the employers might not need 2 people at the same time and because live-in accommodation is not always available (if you are placed in the hospitality industry). It can help though if you both have experience and have a high level of English.

What happens if I don’t like my placement?
If you do not like your placement, and if the position differs from what is explained on your “Work Training Contract”, please inform LSI or make note of it in the regular reports that you submit to our placement office. We can then look into the situation and, when necessary, work to find you another position. However this is subject to us receiving a satisfactory report from your employment supervisor.

What happens if my employer terminates my employment before the end of my contract date?
If your employment is terminated because the placement no longer has work for you and it is no fault of your own, we will work to find you an alternative placement. However, if your employment is terminated because you haven’t performed well or you have committed a gross misconduct, we will not seek a further placement for you and you will have to return home or find your own employment.

What are some examples of employment being terminated due to ‘my own fault’?
There are many examples of where employment can be terminated (or “Fired” as it is commonly known). Here are some examples of reasons why some of our previous students have been fired.
• Lateness for start of work
• Finishing your shift early without permission
• Being unfriendly or argumentative with colleagues or management.
• Not being flexible
• Giving away drinks or other products/goods to friends this is considered to be theft.
• Telling employer or colleagues that they are leaving before their notice period (read further)
• Being rude to customers.
• Work quality not to the standards that is expected.
• Damaging company property.
• False facts on their CV.
There are obviously other reasons why someone can be fired but no employer enjoys letting someone go
and employers normally have a good reason for doing this.

What happens if my employer changes my job position?
If your employer changes your job because he feels that you are not suitable for the original job or that there is no longer a position for you in that department due to a down-turn in business you must accept this offer of employment. You will be able to keep your placement officer informed about this.

If I want to leave the placement and return home or to the LSI school what must I do?
You should always serve your notice to the employer as agreed on your “Work Training Contract” You should always put it in writing thanking the employer for your job and giving your date of leaving. You should never ever give your employer your finish date before this or tell any other members of staff as your employer may ask you to leave earlier and in this case LSI will not be able to find you another job. You should also inform LSI that you are leaving and if you are going back to school you must inform the school and not arrive there without giving them at least one weeks notice.

Do I get a report or certificate?
We receive a report from the employer and if you would like a copy for your future job applications it can be sent to you. In addition to this, LSI will provide you with a letter/certificate for your work placement.

How do I apply?
• Complete an LSI enrolment form giving details of the required course, accommodation and transfer requirements.
• Complete an LSI ‘Paid Work Placement’ application form. Please note that the start date for your paid work placement must be at least 12 weeks after we receive your application.
• Send the forms as well as a Resume/CV, and other documents as requested by the school officer.

What happens next?
• All work experience application packets will be sent to you once an LSI Enrolment Form has been submitted. Applications must be fully completed along with all supporting documents as well as payment and sent to LSI. All documents must be ORIGINALS (faxed or emailed copies are not acceptable in some cases). These must in turn be received by LSI or our partner-agency 12-16 weeks in advance of the program start date (see specific program requirements). PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PLAN IN ADVANCE AND ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS! Note that placements will only be made AFTER the required level of English is achieved!
• You will be contacted by the work placement office at LSI to discuss your CV Questionnaire. We will then use this information to create a standardised CV.
• If your level of English is not good enough to attend an interview by the end of your studies we will not be able to find a work placement for you. You will be given the option of extending your studies until this level has been reached.
• During the last few weeks of your course you will be informed of the times/locations of your interviews. It is important that you take these interviews seriously – the companies are under no obligation to give you a job. The most common reason for failing these interviews is through inadequate English language skills.
• Please note that LSI often works with agencies to help us find the best possible placement for you. So do not be surprised if an agency contacts you on our behalf with details of companies, or to arrange interviews.
• Support will be provided throughout and you will be contacted by LSI or an agency early into your
placement to make sure that everything is running smoothly.
• Wages will normally be paid directly into your bank account. Salaries can either be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and are normally paid in arrears. We can advise you on how to open a Canadian bank account for your wages to be paid into. Note -- it can be difficult to open an account if you are here for less than 6 months. If you can open a Canadian bank account with a from your home country through your existing bank then this can be a good idea.
• Uniforms and meals are sometimes provided free of charge by your employer.

Terms and conditions
• Whilst LSI is responsible for finding paid work placement, we cannot be responsible for placements that fail due to improper behaviour of the student, incompetence, or inadequate English.
• If we do not believe that your original objectives are realistic, we will discuss this with you and try to agree new areas in which we believe you would be more likely to succeed.
• The type of job offered to you will normally be dependent on your English ability. The majority of
jobs offered will be unskilled.
• When a company offers you a job in one of your chosen areas you must accept it.
• Once you have been placed, you will become an employee of your host company, and as such
be subject to their rules, regulations and working practices. LSI will not provide an alternative
placement if you leave the company voluntarily or if you are sacked.
• When you have accepted a placement, LSI will only consider moving you to another paid placement if your agreed working hours drop below 20 hours per week or in the event of gross misconduct on behalf of the host company.

The Wellington Business School is located in the central commercial area of Lower Hutt and is only 5 minutes walking distance from the biggest shopping mall (Westfield Shopping Centre) in Wellington.
It takes only 15 minutes to get here from downtown Wellington by car or about 25~30 minutes by bus. It is also very convenient to public and transport facilities such as banks, libraries, post offices, cafes, bars, supermarkets, trains, and bus stations.

Our programs might also be of interest for you because they are not only languages courses, but a combination of these with a possibility to earn money (demi pair), learn about a different culture (maori program), or get work experience and a good reference (business internship). There is also the possibility to do a high school program. No matter what the demand is, we are able to offer what our students want.

The host families are very carefully selected by the LSI Language Centre you choose and will help you to feel at home. You will receive full-board in a single room as the only guest unless you choose to share.
