Summarized goal: That the trainee on internship should evolve and learn as much as possible about the tourist trade on the spot.

Common tasks and goal, 3: That the trainee reaches the level of competence to assist and work as a second guide on guided tours and events.
Goal on longer internships, 4: That the trainee reaches the competence and development to function as the first guide on guided tours.

In case of no desire in the guiding goal, there are also booking administration and marketing fields to concentrate the development and training in. We are open to hear about your desire.
Due to individual differences interns will reach different levels on the scale of goals.

More about Nordic Discovery
Trabajo voluntario en Suecia
The idea with the volunteer agreement is to give the volunteer a chance to stay and learn about Sweden and get the opportunity to do a lot of outdoor activities in return for work. The volunteer work program is between 1 day and 6 months and is based on benefits which increase on a time scale. The program starts with accommodation in self-catering cottage and access to outdoor equipment and ends with all living costs included and paid travel expenses. No experience needed.
Volunteer workers staying for more than 2 weeks will receive a written documentation of their stay, with the CEO of Nordic Discovery as a reference person. Something which has proved to be very appreciated by employers due to the fact that the document prove the volunteer worker’s guts and ambition to travel to an another country and help out and learn with other priorities than earning a salary. The document has proved to be crucial to young volunteers applying for their first job.

The internship program is the best if you want to learn as much as possible about the trade, active nature tourism.

As Nordic Discovery will invest time in teaching you will organize your own food and pay a discounted fee for accommodation. The program is regarded as education by learning the trade by working on the spot.
The voluntary work program is based on work and the volunteer workers will work of their expenses (food and accommodation) during their stay.
