MULTIPOWER
Diverse work communities as a resource for SMEs
New competence for the SMEs employing or considering employing people with a foreign background.
Towards learning and diverse work community
Designing learning with SMEs
How can language and culture be learned as part of work? How to build a multicultural work community? Is there a best way to develop international competence of the company’s personnel? How can we make international experts feel comfortable in South Savo region in Finland?
Solutions to these questions are sought in MULTIPOWER (MONIVOIMA) by designing learning together with companies. We want competence development to become more flexible and clearer in the companies of the South Savo region. Finnish work is appreciated around the world, and experts working in Finland have a very high work ethic. There is always room for improvement in quality and competence in an ever-changing world, in order to maintain competitiveness and growth.
Based on the needs, 0.25-2 ECTS credits of targeted training will be built to be implemented in companies.
