ZENITH 2025
MENTORSHIP FOR SKILLED IMMIGRANTS IN NORWAY
ZENITH 2025 REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
Next Program
AUGUST 2025 – DECEMBER 2025
The Zenith Mentorship Program is designed to help highly skilled people of immigrant and minority backgrounds living across Norway to secure meaningful employment or scale their businesses. Through one-on-one mentorship, peer learning, professional development workshops, and networking opportunities, Zenith provides the support needed to navigate the Norwegian job market and entrepreneurial landscape with confidence.
Why Zenith?
93% of our mentees have successfully found employment.
Many skilled immigrants face challenges that prevent them from reaching their full potential, such as:
- Limited access to professional networks, making it difficult to tap into the hidden job market.
- Unfamiliarity with Norwegian hiring processes, workplace culture, and employer expectations.
- Lack of targeted career support to help them find jobs aligned with their skills and education.
- Barriers to entrepreneurship, including access to resources, guidance, and business networks.
Zenith breaks down these barriers by providing mentorship, knowledge, and connections that enable immigrants to thrive professionally and economically.
How It Works
Each mentee is paired with a primary mentor, meeting at least twice a month for personalized career or business guidance.
Beyond their primary mentor, mentees gain access to a diverse pool of industry experts for specialized advice, helping them navigate specific challenges in their field.
Zenith offers workshops, networking events, and peer learning sessions to help mentees build essential skills, expand their professional network, and gain insight into the Norwegian job market.
Whether seeking employment or launching a business, Zenith provides the tools, mentorship, and community support to empower skilled immigrants to succeed.

Together, we can foster diversity and inclusion within Norwegian workspaces, help people get their dream jobs, and fight `brain waste` in Norway.

Throughout the program, the mentors will receive guidance and supervision, while also having access to our wide network of experts and like-minded people from all around the globe, living in Norway. Moreover, as a mentor, the interaction with a mentee from the same or similar field of expertise will be enriching for both, as you will exchange thoughts, experiences and viewpoints on similar topics from different angles.
