Finland’s labour market is often praised for its fairness and high standards. However, beneath the surface, a more complex and sometimes darker reality persists. For many international talents, the journey into the Finnish workforce can be paved with hidden risks and vulnerability to exploitation.
How do we move from identifying the problem to implementing real solutions?
On 15 April 2026, the JobBuddies project invites you to our fourth Breakfast Seminar: How to Avoid Work Exploitation?
Beyond the headlines
While investigative reporting has brought many cases of exploitation to light, the systemic issues remain. At this seminar, we are bringing together a powerhouse panel of experts to discuss what we can do about the problem.
Meet our speakers
We are honoured to host a diverse group of speakers who are at the forefront of this issue:
- Paavo Teittinen – Investigative Journalist at Helsingin Sanomat
- Venla Roth – Professor of Practice at University of Turku
- Pia Marttila – Coordinating Senior Advisor at Victim Support Finland
- Eva Biaudet – Member of Parliament
