Momentum Podcast - Discussions on all career-related

EURES (European Employment Services) is a meeting place for people and jobs, where you can find information and services related to employment. They organize European Job Days, international job affairs online and on site, and provide advise for people moving from one country to another.

What European countries are Finnish job seekers currently interested in, and from what countries are people moving to Finland at the moment? Which are the fields of expertise and sectors needing a lot of workers these days, in the European job market. We also discuss the main differences in job seeking and working life in general – between Finland and other EURES countries.

With EURES Advisor Tina Sundqvist.

The newly-launched Oulu Talent Hub website answers to a lot of questions for our international friends. But how is the whole moving experience and making the decision to settle in Finland? With the language, the weather and the cultural shock, studying and working life differences? 

And how do people find the overall climate for entre... pre... neurship in Finland? And are there some typical challenges they face in putting together new companies here?

Momentum Podcast is joined by Viera Karam, the business advisor to the international community at BusinessOulu, and Salla Hirvonen, specialist and project manager at BusinessOulu and Oulu Talent Hub.

Finland is running out of work force in certain fields, but our international students still have difficulties landing jobs in the Finnish job market. What's going on, and what can we do about this? 

Momentum Podcast sits down and discusses things through at the University of Oulu - with Outi Tolonen, the project manager of the Talent Boost programme, and Angela Suorsa, the career guidance expert for international students.
