INTEGRATION TRAINING

Integration training is usually intended for immigrants who have lived in Finland for less than 3 years and do not have a job. The training usually lasts about a year.

In the integration training, you will:

• learn Finnish or Swedish and communication skills
• learn social and working life skills
• get a personal professional plan.

After the integration training, you will speak sufficient Finnish or Swedish to cope in everyday life, such as at work, in shops and in public services. After the integration training, you can apply for a job or study, for example, in vocational studies.
For more information about integration training, please contact your personal expert.
