The Best North is Found in the Northeast.
Finland’s Northeast is on the rise – and we want you to be part of the story. Contact us and let’s explore the opportunities together.
Tourism here is growing, and your skills could make a real difference. In many roles, English will get you far – but if you also speak Dutch, Spanish, French, or German, you’ll be in even higher demand.
And it doesn’t stop at tourism: the forestry and healthcare sectors also offer great opportunities for international talent looking for meaningful work and a high quality of life in the North.
