The main aim of the project "Talents for Kainuu" is to support the international students in finding career opportunities in Kainuu region so that they can stay in the area after graduation.
During the project, emphasis will be put on providing personal career guidance and producing guidance material related to finding a job in Finland and Kainuu. In addition, local employers will be brought together with the international students so that the students will be able to create a professional network in the region already during their studies.
The companies can benefit by the international know-how the students bring along. In cooperation with local stakeholders such as ELY Keskus and TE-Toimisto the final result is an operational model for a sustainably successful employment between students and Kainuu based companies and public actors.
The project runs from 1 August 2019 until 31 December 2022. The project is funded by the European Social Fund (ESR).
Information about ongoing activities involved in the project will be posted on this site.
