The KAVOT project (Kansainvälistä Osaamista Työelämään) was a cooperation with the cities of Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the Helsinki Chamber of Commerce and the University of Helsinki, and funded by Uudenmaanliitto. The goal of the project was to encourage companies in Uusimaa to hire their first international talents.
This free intensive coaching program aimed to guide participants to the Finnish job market and give them a taste of the first entrepreneurial steps in the Rauma region. This program is a collaboration of The Shortcut and International House Rauma, and was made possible by the City of Rauma, Satakunnan Ely-keskus, and TE-keskus.
Together with Microsoft and the Ukrainian Association in Finland, we wanted to support Ukrainian asylum seekers to learn high in-demand skills by providing hands-on-training that enables them to find a job in the industry.
AWS re/Start was a free, full-time skills development program to jump-start a career working in cloud computing. AWS re/Start and The Shortcut have teamed up to offer this hybrid program in Helsinki.
Together with Microsoft, we provided a hands-on training that taught job-seekers the basics of secure cloud computing with Azure. After this program, participants were ready to work with Microsoft Azure Security.
The Shortcut offered career coaching for longterm unemployed job-seekers as one of the trusted partners of Työ-SIB (Social Impact Bond). The Työ-SIB program is organized via the TE-Office and S-Pankki.
