Information, Guidance and Counseling Service for International Recruitment
International House Kuopio provides employers in the Kuopio region with free, low‑threshold guidance, counselling and advisory services that support the employment of international talents and their smooth settlement in the region. The service is aimed at employers who are looking for talent, wish to develop their recruitment practices, or need clearer guidance on issues related to international recruitment.
We operate according to a one‑stop‑shop principle, bringing together local and national services. This way, employers receive clear, up‑to‑date and situation‑specific support from a single point of contact.
Our aim is to streamline the recruitment of international talents, ensure the availability of skilled labour now and in the future, support the competitiveness of companies and organisations, and strengthen the Kuopio region’s attractiveness and retention by promoting the long‑term integration of international talents into the area.
