Sataedu organises integration and language training for immigrants, preparatory training for vocational education, and vocational training. In many of the training courses, Sataedu cooperates with the TE Services of the Labour Administration.
FINNISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION
TE Services
Integration training
Integration training helps immigrants to become a part of the Finnish society, education and working life. Those who can’t speak Finnish yet are eligible to apply for this training. The training includes Finnish language and communication skills, social and working life skills and a personal professional career plan for you.
When you want to start integration training, contact the Finnish Employment services, TE services, directly. You can register as an unemployed jobseeker even if you are under 18 years old.
Assessing language skills
A language or literacy starting level test provides an assessment of language skills. Apply for the test through the TE services.
INDEPENDENT STUDYING
You can learn Finnish independently as well:
Different associations, such as The Multicultural Association of Satakunta, provide Finnish language education and training.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The language of education and training at Sataedu is Finnish. A learner applying for Sataedu is required to have sufficient proficiency in the Finnish language, and if necessary, the learner’s language skills are tested in an interview or with a language test. You can apply for Finnish language education through TE Services.
Vocational Education and Training
Immigrant learners, whose mother tongue is not Finnish, mainly study in the same groups as native speakers of Finnish. The learner’s developing language skills are taken into account in teaching and the learner is supported during the training. The professional competence requirements are the same for all learners. Some of the learning happens in the workplace. Teaching and qualifications are delivered in Finnish at Sataedu.
We also organise training for immigrants only, such as care assistant training as labour market training. You can apply for these through the TE services.
