Finland needs immigrants, but are they truly welcome? In this podcast, we dive into the challenges immigrants face in the Finnish job market, the importance of voting, and how YOU can make a difference!
🔹 The Reality for Immigrants in Finland
🛑 Many struggle to find jobs due to language barriers, rigid job market structures, and discrimination. 💼 Networking is the key to success—most jobs are hidden and filled through connections. 📜 Recognizing foreign qualifications is a major hurdle, especially in healthcare.
🔹 Why Voting Matters 🗳️ 📅 Two elections are happening on the same day: ✅ Municipal Elections – Decide on education, employment, and local policies. ✅ Well-being Services Elections – Control healthcare, social services, and emergency care. 💡 If you’ve lived in Finland for 2+ years, YOU CAN VOTE! 🔹 Take Action 💪 ✔️ Vote in elections—shape policies that impact immigrants. ✔️ Challenge politicians—ask about immigrant issues. ✔️ Demand better language training & qualification recognition. ✔️ Engage with Finnish society—learning the language helps integration.
