Towards Finnish Working Life project — New talents for trade and business administration

Connecting companies with Ukrainian talents

The Towards Finnish Working Life training is designed for Ukrainians living in Finland and having completed either a higher education degree or at least studies in higher education. The emphasis of the training is on finding employment in the field of trade and business administration in Finland. You can read more about the training on the website for the students.

We are now reaching out to companies in the field of trade and business administration interested in collaboration during autumn 2024.

In the training, we have several students with intermediate (minimum B1) Finnish skills and diverse work experience in data analytics, business accounting, sales and marketing, driven by a strong will to further develop their skills in Finland to find employment.

The process is simple: We will introduce a Ukrainian talent with a relevant profile to you, and if there is mutual interest, your enterprise can offer an assignment during autumn 2024. The content of the assignment can be designed according to your needs and the skill profile of the chosen student. An assignment could be for example a market analysis or a report on a topic chosen by you.

The students of the training are learning Finnish and some are fluent in English as well. We will take your language skill requirements into consideration and do our best to find a student with matching language skills.
