City of Helsinki
According to studies, about 25% of immigration is work-related. The debate on ways to attract skilled professionals has been really active recently. Many companies have expressed suffering from a skills shortage that is holding back growth. The Helsinki City Spouses’ Employment Program is an excellent example of a successful measure. The educational background of the participants is diverse; participants include doctors, commercial experts as well as teachers and healthcare professionals.
“It has been a pleasure to coach people from different countries and cultures who are so motivated and have a diverse competence. These professionals have a really strong desire to find meaningful work and become part of Finnish society and make their own contribution,” says Antero Ojanaho, who is responsible for the project’s career coaching at Mazhr Oy.
The spouse program and its Career Track employment path are funded by the Talent Helsinki project and the European Social Fund’s “Kokka kohti työmarkkinoita” – project, as part of the Ministry of Employment and the Economy’s Talent Boost action program.
