Finnish Working Life Workshops
Are you new to the Finnish working culture and looking to learn more about your rights, benefits, trade unions, taxes and much more? Look no further! Our Finnish Working Life Workshops are here to provide you with the information and support you need to navigate the Finnish job market.
Through interactive and casual workshops, internationals living in Tampere get to know the ins and outs of Finnish working life, such as working culture, employees’ rights, social and health benefits, trade unions and taxation. Our workshops will also provide opportunities for open discussions and questions, as well as peer support and community building.
