NET2019 - Bridging studies: Promoting employment of immigrants in the Social and Health Care sector in Finland

According to the EU and the Ministries, the employment of highly educated immigrants has to be streamlined. The immigrants who have a higher education degree in social and healthcare accomplished outside of current country of living, especially outside EU/EEA, have difficulties obtaining a right to practice their profession in the EU. Bridging studies developed in the SOHE-Bridge project aim to develop a smooth and cost-effective process for nurses and other healthcare professionals to obtain right to practice a profession and to be authorised and employed.
