Helper

Sustainable employment paths for immigrants

In Helper, we want to be a catalyst for building a good life in South Savo. Our aim is to support the attraction and retention of our region by promoting positive attitudes and developments in relation to employment and recruitment of immigrants. We also want to develop inclusion in a way that strengthens participants’ employment, education and training and Finnish language skills.

The aim of the project is to improve immigrants inclusion, access to training and employment, and job search skills.

The project measures include

Creating a job-seeking volunteering model and developing leisure opportunities
Finnish job search and its digital opportunities and promotion of knowledge of working life
Strengthening the use of plain language
Building business partnerships to support labour supply
Developing international recruitment
Personalised guidance for job and education search
Workshops, training, group guidance

Usable materials

Project uses material to support the job search in several different, listed languages.

These materials have been produced during the OSUMA project previously implemented by Juvenia.

  • Finnish
