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.
“Within the coming two years we need over 2000 new employees.”
The need of skilled work force is continuous both in the private sector and the public sector in the Jakobstad region.
