Idea
In the City of Helsinki, 15,7% of residents speak a mother tongue other than Finnish or Swedish. In Espoo, for example, in 2000, non-native speakers represented 3,8% of the population (7900 people) and in just 20 years this number is now 19% (55000 people), with a tendency to grow. A huge parcel of them searches for jobs in Helsinki, and this is also true to Vantaa and other cities. Two most recurrent scenarios develop: people cannot enter jobs as they do not speak Finnish, or they find English-only jobs and never develop Finnish language skills, much needed to well integrate society.
Our proposal is that the City creates a repository of resources for companies with ideas and material to encourage their foreign employees’ language learning. Those could be brochures with best practices recommendations on how to incorporate the Finnish learning into the workplace and docs to support the follow-up of each employee such as individual targets for the learning and forms of evaluation.

Hello!
Please note that this idea will proceed in OmaStadi only if it is made into a proposal alone or together with other ideas of similar thought. At the moment it seems this idea is not connected to any proposals.
Proposals can be made until 28.2.2021 and remember, they must also be published – not just saved as draft.
Instructions on how to make and publish proposals can be found here: https://omastadi.hel.fi/pages/kuvalliset-ohjeet-ehdotuksen-tekemiseen?locale=en
No worries: proposals can be modified until the end of April. For this phase a contact person for each theme will also be named by the city divisions.
In any questions or need for help, do not hesitate to contact me!
