When You Can't Find a Qualified Professional

Train experts to meet your company's needs

Not all skills need to be found ready-made on the job market. With the help of the Lapland Education Center REDU, a company can recruit a new employee and train them for the job or develop the skills of its current staff.

Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is a practical way to recruit and train employees. Most of the learning takes place through hands-on work tasks at the company.

Through an apprenticeship, you can:

  • train a new employee

  • develop the skills of current employees

  • complete an entire vocational degree

  • complete only the portion of the degree program that the company requires

  • also helps entrepreneurs develop their own skills.

An apprenticeship is based on an employment relationship, and the employee receives a salary.

Students in the Workplace

A company can offer REDU students opportunities for work-based learning through either a training program or an apprenticeship. At the same time, the company gets to meet potential future employees.

Do you need several new professionals?

If your company is growing, making a significant investment, or launching an entirely new line of business, hiring individual employees may not be enough.

We can also explore broader recruitment and training solutions tailored to the company's needs.

This may be relevant, for example, when:

  • A company is launching a new operation in Ranua

  • The company is making a significant investment

  • We need several new employees

  • The necessary skills are not readily available in the labor market

  • The skills of the current staff need to be updated.

Involve Business Ranua right from the planning stage. We can bring together the employment region and educational organizations to work with your company in designing a solution.

Find the employees of the future while they're still in school

An internship, student project, or thesis can be a good way for a company to get to know a prospective employee.

Here's one way the collaboration could proceed:

Student project → internship → thesis → summer job → employee

The sooner a student gets to know the company and Ranua, the easier it will be for them to see the area as a potential future workplace and place to live.

International recruitment can be a solution, especially for a company that:

  • There is a shortage of skilled workers in the industry

  • business is growing rapidly

  • Seasonal factors create a high demand for labor

  • The customer base is international.

There are many international students studying at Lapland University of Applied Sciences and the University of Lapland. An internship, student project, or thesis can be an accessible way to begin collaborating with an international expert.

It is also worth looking into the services available for international recruitment in the Rovaniemi employment region.

A workforce solution can be developed even before the investment is made

The availability of labor is an important factor in a company’s decision on where to locate. That is why finding employees should not be left until the point when the facilities are ready and operations are about to begin.

Business Ranua helps companies planning to set up operations in the area determine, for example:

  • What kind of workforce is available in the region?

  • where the necessary experts can be found

  • Can new employees be trained to meet the company's needs?

  • What kind of collaboration can be established with REDU?

  • Can college students be utilized in the recruitment process?
