My Vision / For What I Work for
Work is the best inclusion to the society. I believe that every one of us should get a chance to work for something that matters to us or at least to be able to pay the bills and living with the salary paid for work. Unfortunately for many immigrants in Finland and Sweden, this is not possible at the moment. I can see a huge wasted potential in people that have immigrated on other reasons than work. This bothers me. Where could we be if that potential was used to solve the problem? My guidelines are #liveasyoupreach and #nothingformewithoutme and this applies to diversity in worklife. My ultimate goal is to start an organization that employs immigrants and offers multilingual services to other immigrants in the field of employment, integration and language. This is something I can’t do alone. Will you join me in this adventure and rethink immigrants’ employment and integration services in the Nordics?
