Enabling a new future
Hero specializes in services aimed at refugees and immigrants in Norway, Sweeden and Germany. Working with refugees and immigrants is about making a new future possible. It applies both to the refugees and for the society they settle down in.
The welfare system in Scandinavian countries presupposes a high participation rate. This means that it is essential that we facilitate and work towards making immigrants and refugees understood by others, as well as helping them use their resources and become contributors as quickly as possible. This way, we make a new future possible.
As the sole entity in Norway, we provide services ranging from arrival as an asylum seeker in Norway, through the reception period, to integration into employment and education. In addition to operating various types of asylum reception centers and childcare facilities, we provide interpretation services and various qualification programs for newly arrived immigrants and settled refugees.

We live in an increasingly global world and people travel to new countries to study, explore work opportunities and to escape from war, persecution and poverty. In our highly developed countries, immigration has been necessary to supply the labor markets with the required expertise and human resource for many years. We also have strong humanitarian traditions and receive relatively high numbers of refugees and asylum seekers per capita. There is a need for continuous innovation and social entrepreneurship in order to facilitate integration of new citizens effectively. With highly developed welfare systems based on high employment rates for both men and women, the European countries need newcomers to quickly become contributors.
