Finland will need 130,000 new employees by 2030 in order to stay competitive because of the aging population.
Foreign talent is the solution.
At The Shortcut, we believe that employment is the best form of integration. Over the past eight years, The Shortcut has made a significant impact on integration efforts, and now we aim to take a more active role in policy advocacy. The current immigration discussion and momentum in society supports our mission.
The Shortcut is now creating a collective of private and public actors that share our vision of creating growth and ensuring Finland’s competitiveness through diversity. The collective will raise awareness about the challenges and benefits of attracting foreign talent by publishing joint editorials in Finnish media and running other public relations campaigns. We plan to launch this effort publicly with an integrated marketing campaign in March 2025, with activities and events continuing until the end of the year.
Finland is in dire need of international talents to grow and prosper. At the same time, there are numerous well-educated people looking for meaningful employment. The mission of The Shortcut is to make these two parties meet and help integrate foreign talents into the Finnish work life.
Join our growing network of partners to support our mission and gain exclusive benefits and visibility in our projects. We offer the following partnership programs:
We partner with both private and public organizations to provide much-needed professional training and integration programs. While many of the services that we offer are open to our entire community, some, like specialized training and coaching, are limited by many factors entirely determined by our partner organization requirements.
If you would like to partner with us to offer training or services, send us a message.
