Save the date: Tackling the talent shortage with Finnish and Swedish skills - a Kielibuusti event 5 November 2024 at 14-16
Welcome to attend the Kielibuusti event Tackling the talent shortage with Finnish and Swedish skills on Aalto University campus in Espoo!
In the increasingly international work life, effective practices are needed to support multilingualism and the learning of national languages. To answer this need, Kielibuusti has created an open and free of charge website to support language learning. The website compiles practical models, materials, and tools developed in the project. The website serves several audiences: international talents living in Finland, those planning to move here, language teachers, work communities, study and career advisors, and other professionals working in international affairs.
