Employment Training Providers (ETP)
Explanation:
The purpose of an "arbeidsmarkedsbedrift" is to retrain unemployed individuals (usually in a vocation of some sort) in order to provide them with new jobs. In Norway these businesses are privately run, but operating on government contracts. Employment training providers seems to be the equivalent in the UK. A couple of examples are provided below, many more when you Google the term:o)

I see NAV use Labour Market Enterprises in their translations, but ETP seems more current in native English texts, so I'm going with that. Thanks to all!
