How will you use HEIDI?

What you can do on the portal

The portal works in seven languages. Registration is free.

  • Screening & Mapping Tool

    Answer questions about your profession, your qualifications and the country you live in. You get a personal set of next steps in four directions: continue in your profession, complete your qualifications, move to a new profession or start your own business. Download them as a PDF or send them to your email.

  • Skills Certification Tool

    Work through short everyday scenarios that show eight transversal skills, such as critical thinking, communication and digital skills. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes and gives you a score for each skill. The questions are in English and Norwegian.

  • CV builder

    Build your CV step by step and download it as a PDF in the language you choose.

  • Job listings

    Find jobs posted by employers and apply. Applying opens a conversation with the employer in your inbox.

Your profession, in the country where you live

The Screening & Mapping Tool knows the rules for 17 professions in seven countries: what you need to work as a nurse in Norway, an engineer in Germany or a teacher in Spain, and where to apply.
