The Shortcut is taking steps to better serve Finnish society by matching talents with various backgrounds to Finnish work life. The recently elected board supported the management team to focus the strategy on employment services and reorganization of the operations accordingly. The Shortcut will continue to be the go-to name for entrepreneurial and employment services for international talents.  

Due to these changes, former CEO Inga Chernova has stepped down from her responsibilities as a mutual decision. She has expressed her wish to continue working in the community but outside the Shortcut.
