What is Business Lead?

Business Lead is a fast track for unemployed academically educated refugees and immigrants into Finnish work-life by combining education, career coaching and insights into working in a company in Finland.

The programme benefits all parties involved. It can help companies find new international talent, explore new commercial opportunities and markets and get an outside-in view on your business. In addition, it is a unique opportunity to make a difference, it is corporate social responsibility in action. Since the beginning, nearly 270 participants and over 160 companies have enabled the programme. Hanken & SSE Executive Education runs the programme together with Hanken School of Economics. Business Lead won the award for best Talent Development program in Europe by EFMD in 2018.
