Tampere Universities provide an extensive set of relocation services to connect, discover and reach individuals’ full potential in the Finnish society.

In today’s competitive world companies need to seek for talents from abroad to answer the bourgeoning foreign operations and increasing innovation shortage.  Talents are often attracted to conduct international assignment and 80 percent of today’s expatriates relocate with their families. When relocating, spouses are often falling under the radar or organisational support, while they genuinely need the most psychological and career care. The successful adjustment of newcomers largely depends on their ability to integrate into the new system. Tampere universities wish to maximise the opportunities for personal and professional growth by improving language skills, building a social network, establishing a social identity as well as providing a set of cultural knowledge as an essential foundation for the spouse’s integration and career development. Hidden Gems promotes the utilisation of immigrant professionals’ expertise and human capital to meet the needs of industry and business, so that the participants find employment that corresponds to their qualifications and ensures them fair compensation.

The Hidden Gems team ensures that the spouses can build a social network, improve language skills and establish a social identity in Finland as a key for talent attraction and retention within Tampere region. By participating in several activities related to networking, mentoring and professional development, we wish to equip the spouses to become the actors of their own success in Finland.
