Fræðslunetið – símenntun á Suðurlands is a lifelong learning center located in the South coast of Iceland, founded in 1999 by municipalities, companies and main associations in the southern area of Iceland.
There are 12 employees and up to 50 teachers and instructors who work on various projects on behalf of Fræðslunetið. The main office is located in Selfoss the largest town on the south coast. Also there are four stations along the south coast, in Hvolsvöllur, Vík í Mýrdal, Kirkjubæjarklaustur and Höfn í Hornafirði.
Our main goal is to offer courses for adults, develop educational opportunities for low-skilled individuals and to encourage people on the labor market to practice continuous education and career development. Fræðslunetið focus groups are those who have not completed the upper secondary level of education which is about 30% of the labor force in the area. The main issue is to enable individuals from our target group to achieve further education as to strengthen and improve their employability. Another focus group are immigrants who come from different countries, mostly Europeans. They need Icelandic language courses which are performed in five different levels and other special programs designed for immigrants to enable them to settle down in a new country.
Our courses: Icelandic for foreigners (5 levels).
