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.
Our community helps spouses feel welcomed and build social networks, improve language skills and establish a social identity in Finland.
Connect, reflect, and find your own way forward.
Through Hidden Gems, spouses can explore their own path and direction, and take small steps forward at their own pace.
The programme combines information and community building activities, such as networking, group mentoring and professional development.
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 path 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 options in Finland and introducing tools to create an individual action or development plan for the months ahead. Furthermore, the aim is to offer an opportunity to begin learning Finnish.
