The JobBuddies mentorship program is now looking for more participants with an immigrant background for the next term starting in January–February 2026. The program is aimed at individuals interested in working within the following fields: IT, Healthcare (mainly nurses), and HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering).
The program is open to both newcomers and those who have been living here for a while, and who have education or experience – or both – in the fields mentioned above. Are you currently unemployed and looking for a job in any of these sectors? Then you are welcome to read more and register here!
What is JobBuddies?
JobBuddies is a mentorship program designed to support internationally trained professionals who are navigating the Finnish job market. Each group includes:
- 3 experienced mentors currently working or having expertise in the same field
- 15 mentees, all job seekers with a background in that industry
- 2 project team members, helping and supporting the group
Together, they form a supportive group where mentors share insights, industry knowledge, networking strategies, and personalized advice — including recommendations for updating skill sets to answer the needs of the Finnish market.

We are seeking motivated candidates who:
- Are immigrants looking to enter or re-enter the workforce in their field
- Have previous education and/or professional experience in the industry relevant to the mentorship group
- Are eager to commit, learn, engage with peers, and take proactive steps in their job search
- Are based in the Uusimaa (Nyland) region
Looking forward to meeting you at Luckan!
