City of Espoo, Talent Hub

An umbrella that encompasses the Competence Centre for Highly Educated Immigrants (KOSKE), Employment Espoo services and Talent Espoo. Talent Espoo is City of Espoo's response to the cross-sectoral implementation of the national Talent Boost programme together with a vast partner network.

The University of Helsinki, The HEI LIFE project

The University of Helsinki is managing this national project to support the integration of international academics and their families living and working in Finland. The HEI LIFE project highlights topics and development needs that are relevant to all higher education institutions in Finland wanting to attract and retain international academics, staff and their families.

City of Vantaa, Talent Vantaa project

How people settle down and integrate into Finland and their own living area has been a discussed topic lately. From various perspectives, it is important that people who move to Vantaa settle down successfully and enjoy living in their new hometown. One important goal in the Business service’s Talent Vantaa project is to increase the visibility and awareness of different services that are related to integration among newcomers. The idea is also to create a “welcoming” culture in the city.
