Finnish Language Training

Language skills are one of the most important things in adapting to and enjoying one's new home country. Competence is often independent of language, but a common language facilitates communication between the work community and increases the commitment of an international expert. From an organisational point of view, a common language is important because it builds a closer common culture.

There are plenty of different options available for Finnish language training. Language training is available online and as contact teaching for new employees. The online Suomi Hubi is a flexible way for employees to study Finnish. You can participate in the studies from anywhere with your own device and there are different levels of training available.

If more international employees join the organisation at once, you can start learning the language already in your country of origin.

Spouse Support -program

The successful integration of a spouse into their new home country is a vital aspect of an international relocation. This transition not only affects the individual's well-being but also has a significant impact on the motivation and satisfaction of the employed partner. Understanding this, Finland Relocation Services has developed a comprehensive Spouse Support program designed to increase the chances of the spouse finding fulfilling activities, whether that be meaningful work, educational opportunities, social networking, or volunteering.

Our Spouse Support program consists of four alternative modules tailored to cater to individual interests and experiences:

  1. FRS Employment Program
  2. FRS Studying Opportunities Program
  3. FRS Social Networking Program
  4. FRS Volunteering Program

Our approach is personalized and thorough:

Pre-Consultation: Each spouse has unique needs and interests. We begin by interviewing the client to understand their preferences and aspirations. This initial consultation helps us provide services that are specifically tailored to make the spouse feel at home in Finland.

Meet & Brief: Based on the information obtained during the pre-consultation, an FRS representative will discuss in greater detail the selected program that aligns with the spouse's interests and previous experiences.

Core Service: Depending on the chosen program, FRS provides individual training, guidance, advice, and support to meet the desired goals. This could include tailored assistance in application processes, connecting the spouse with relevant organizations, or arranging visits and meetings.

Follow-Up: To ensure a smooth transition and ongoing support, each spouse is provided with a personal FRS mentor. The mentor ensures that the agreed activities proceed as planned, and regular follow-up meetings are held to review progress and suggest the next steps. This continuous, positive, inspirational support helps keep the spouse focused and motivated throughout their journey.

At FRS, our mission is to support every family member in their relocation to Finland, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and integrated into their new home.
