Possible move to Skien

23 years ago
Hello everyone!

I have been offered a position as a joiner in Skien and wondered if you could offer any advice. I have three children, aged 11, 6 and 4 and wondered if you could give any information on the Norwegian education system (comparative with the English system) and what difficulties they may find in integration. I would also like to know how much difficulty my wife will have in finding a job without any prior knowledge of the language (she currently works in customer services).
If anyone has any info that they could offer about the area of Skien/ Telemark, I would really appreciate it. Any other advice would also be great.

Many Thanks.
