Talent Hub Eastern Finland is a joint project based on cooperation between six educational institutions from different levels of education in the North Karelia and North Savo region. It is funded by the ESF+ and runs from 2023 to 2027. The project parties are the University of Eastern Finland, Karelia University of Applied Sciences, Savonia University of Applied Sciences, Riveria North Karelia Municipal Education and Training Consortium Finland, Savo Vocational College and Ylä-Savo Vocational College.
The common goal of educational institutions is to increase the employment of international students in the region after graduation, especially in sectors suffering from labour shortages. Entrepreneurship is one of these means of employment. The project has four work packages that educational institutions implement in their own sub-projects, in collaboration with each other.
Karelia UAS subproject 1.10.2023-31.12.2027 promotes Karelia’s strategic choice of ‘educational immigration’ and Talent Boost activities in a variety of ways.
