Get Work Vantaa is a project that helps immigrants, who use English as their primary work language, in finding employment.
We have two services: Get Work Support and Career Coaching. They are free of charge.
To take part in our services, there are a few requirements:
✅ You must live in Vantaa (the project is financed by the City of Vantaa)
✅ You have some IT skills (you need to know how to use email and build a CV)
✅ You use English as the primary work language (we tell employers that our clients speak English)
✅ You have maximum basic level Finnish skills
✅ You have a valid work permit
We don’t require any Finnish skills and you also don’t need to be registered at the TE services to take part in our project.
Get Work Support
This service gives you information and support for your job-seeking journey in Finland. The service has three parts:
- Bi-weekly newsletter containing open job ads and information on upcoming events
- Invitations to recruitment events
- Job opportunities directly from employers
Please note that the Get Work Vantaa project doesn't have the authority to make hiring decisions. The recruitment decisions are made by the companies.
