The idea behind the project is to increase the opportunity for redundant Russian officers to start a civilian career. So far 344 officers have been retrained, and 50-70 % of the participants have got new jobs. The courses take place at the Murmansk State Technical University and in the employment services center, also in Murmansk. The Norwegian part of the training consists of quality control and guest lecturers, and is handled by the Bodø Regional University. The graduates also receive a diploma from the university.
