Kanta-Häme and Finland need international talent. We must now do a better job of attracting them.
Our experts, together with the three community coordinators and S2 career counsellor recruited for the project, will solve the problems the target group faces in attaching to the region and in making the transition to Finnish working life.
We will respond to the identified need to promote the employment of the target group in Kanta-Häme with concrete actions and services.
Target group
The main target groups of the project are international degree students of Häme University of Applied Sciences and newly graduated international alumni of Häme University of Applied Sciences.
The second target group is employers in Kanta-Häme, especially those responsible for recruitment and induction, who have a need to recruit and induct international experts. They can be HR staff, pre-employees, workplace induction officers or entrepreneurs. The project will serve the target group by supporting the capacity to recruit international talent and thereby strengthen the availability of labour.
The indirect target groups are the stakeholders in Kanta-Häme: employers’ and companies’ support, TE services, Kela, integration forums, Team Finland Häme actors, other various forums (immigration) and cities. In addition, the family members and other close circles of the international degree student, whose successful settlement will directly affect the attachment of the degree student or kv-alumnus to the local area.
