As of July 2025, over 19,000 Ukrainians who arrived in Norway after the war were employed, representing 41% of those aged 20–66. This is a sharp increase by 27% compared to a year earlier, with nearly 8,000 more people entering the workforce. The government attributes this progress to strengthened introduction programmes, mandatory work-oriented activities, increased funding (+NOK 770 million in 2025), and strong efforts by municipalities and employers. Over 26,000 displaced persons have completed the programme, with about one-half moving directly into jobs or further education.
The Minister of Labour and Inclusion, Tonje Brenna, emphasised that work is key to successful integration and praised both municipalities and employers for their contributions.
