NITO is Norway's largest trade union for engineers and technologists, and as a member you are part of a community that gives you security in working life, knowledge to develop further and a voice that is heard – both by your employer and in society. In the stream, you will get a brief look back at NITO's history, before we go through what membership means in practice – and why being a trade union is still one of the smartest choices you can make as an employee.
We go through the most important member benefits – from legal assistance and career help to professional replenishment and financial benefits through NITO's cooperation agreements. You'd be surprised at how much is actually included in the membership.
Finally, we look up: What does NITO do for engineers and technologists at the societal level? You will get an insight into how we work politically with issues such as future skills needs and local preparedness, and how your membership contributes to the engineer's voice being heard where decisions are made.
In the stream, you will meet Emma Erlandsen, public affairs officer at NITO, and Jarand Byrkjeland, head of NITO Students. The stream is suitable for both new and established members, students on their way into working life, and anyone who is curious about what NITO can offer in 2026. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
