The fact is that it is far more challenging for smaller places and regions to attract skilled workforce, mainly due to their location. We at Jakobstad Region Development Company Concordia aim to, in cooperation with local actors, increase the region’s skills base, improve the access to a skilled work force, make it easy and attractive for immigrants and returning migrants to make decisions on their establishment, and to strengthen regional, national and international networks.
We cooperate with employers who need to recruit skilled workers, training centres and other organisations, and the target groups are both potential returning migrants and other skilled workers, national as well as international.
