Success stories

We have a success!
Foreigners, throughout Finland's history have made many contributions to the shaping of Finland. In the last few years there has been a rather large increase of foreigners coming to Finland for new opportunities. In this section individuals are given the chance to share their stories of success in Finland, as well what it took to get there.

If you wish to share your own success story please let us know about it through the discussion boards or via feedback.

An article in the July/August edition of Finland's english language magazine, 6 degrees, also details some success stories of foreigners looking for work in Finland. If you cannot find the magazine locally you can read the article on the 6 degrees website.
