Recruiting and moving employees across borders requires a lot of resources, and it is important that newcomers have access to social and professional networks upon arrival. The SCI  program greatly contributes to the Stavanger region being an attractive destination for work and leisure.

As a SCI member your employees have free access to 80  English speaking events a year.  Events are organized by Stavanger Chamber of Commerce.  Local businesses and organizations kindly support this program by giving a speech or host an event.  

The events vary from spouse network programs during the day, to meetings with a more formal agenda in the evenings, to a variety of social activities during week-ends.  Topics  in the more formal meetings include topics like taxation, pension, housing (buying or renting), personal economy, educational opportunities and job search for partners,  entrepreneurship and more. Networking is an important part of all events.

Companies pay a yearly membership fee, which enables all their employees with families to take part in all our events in English mainly free of charge.
