Finland: Language and support key to immigrant employment

Finland: Language and support key to immigrant employment

Via YLE:
Foreigners are on average able to find work in Finland just as well -- or even better -- than native Finns, according to a study published by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy (MEE) on Tuesday.

The report says that between 2005 and 2009 the employment picture for non-Finns was improved by labour policy measures such as traineeships and preparatory vocational training.

However it says that in order to get jobs in Finland, foreigners must learn Finnish and accept preparatory support measures.
