Emilie and Christiane combined work in health with nursing studies.
Emily always knew she wanted to work with people, so it was only natural for her to choose an education in health.
She first started as a substitute in a kindergarten in Flekkefjord municipality, and decided to study foster care full-time in Stavanger.
While she was studying, she got to work in a student position in Flekkefjord municipality, which made it possible for her to combine work and studies.
Emilie points out that this was only possible because of good leaders in Flekkefjord municipality who were understanding and arranged the process so that she could combine everything.
Emilie goes on to say that the arrangement with a fixed salary and stable working conditions and good employment contracts also made it possible for her and her partner to enter the housing market early.
"I know of many others with similar jobs in other municipalities who do not have these schemes, who do not get mortgages from the banks because they have no security in their job and an arranged salary.»
Emilie says that she is SO satisfied with the whole process from temporary work and studies to a permanent job in Flekkefjord municipality. She envisions living and working in Flekkefjord municipality happily ever after.
Christiane went from upper secondary school to work in a temporary position in a kindergarten in Flekkefjord municipality.
While she worked there, she studied nursing in Stavanger part-time.
She lived in Flekkefjord and commuted back and forth on the days she had to.
"I was able to live at home and work at the same time as I studied part-time, and therefore also had the opportunity to save equity to buy a home. This has been absolutely crucial for me and my partner when we were going to buy our first home in Flekkefjord."
Christiane points out that Health and Welfare in Flekkefjord has a good salary scheme for students; they are paid a fixed salary and always know how much they will be paid so that they can more easily plan and draw up a budget from month to month. In addition, they have good bonus schemes that provide a bonus payment after the summer/end of the academic year - something that comes in incredibly handy as a student, says Christiane.
