Johannes Learning Centre

Johannes Learning Centre is the city’s main vehicle for building language competence. Although the staff used to be all Norwegians, 40% are now of minority background. Then the school has made the move to bilingualism with mixed staff. To achieve this they started hiring former students and appointed people with bilingual skills, wherever there was a need. As a consequence, the school achieved better results. It seems like the leadership had the courage to go beyond that which the law required of them. For Johannes the winning formula seems to be: hire them and teach them; make them part of your functional network. It is said that nobody quits working from Johannes because it is such a good place to work.
