Our methods
As we understand that relocation with a family requires a lot from the whole family, we aim to support not only those recruited, but also the accompanying spouses.
Through Hidden Gems, spouses can build social networks in Finland, explore their own path and direction, and take small steps forward at their own pace.
This approach is based on peer support, shared experiences and gaining new perspectives.
The programme combines information and community building activities to support different needs and situations.
Networking
Creating a welcoming space for spouses to start building social and professional connections in Finland. The aim is to encourage networking and relationship building as sources of peer support, professional contacts and information about life and career opportunities in Tampere.
Peer group mentoring
Encouraging spouses to reflect on their life and career options and to identify their strengths, skills and abilities using guided techniques and tools. The aim is to provide supportive and flexible mentoring, turning skills and strengths into a source of personal and professional well-being.
Professional development
Familiarising spouses with different options and introducing tools to create an individual action or development plan. Furthermore, the aim is to offer an opportunity to begin learning Finnish.
