Video

Hello, did you watch the video where you can find all the necessary information? It's also worth checking out my other video "Unlocking Seasonal Work in Finnish Lapland: Opportunities & Essential Info for English Speakers." The purpose of my channel is to generally share information. I'm not a job agency or agent, and I don't provide personal advice. Thank you for your understanding!

You’re welcome!

Ole hyvä! 👌

It seems to me that you've done well in your lessons. I wish you luck and success!

@@JohnofFinland291 kiitos! 🥰

Hello, you will need to pay for expenses such as flight tickets, clothing, food, accommodation, phone, internet, car, and other living expenses yourself. Education is free, and there are no application or tuition fees. For a one-year stay, you must have at least 6,720 euros available in your own account. However, I highly recommend having significantly more. 😇

Excuse me, but what did you mean?

You’re welcome! 😊

You’re welcome! I wish you luck!! 👍🇫🇮🇦🇽

Hello dear friend, Did you carefully watch the video? All the necessary information is mentioned in the video and on the school websites. My accent may be strongly Finnish, but it is possible to enable automatic subtitles for the video.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🙏🏻

@@JohnofFinland291 you are welcome, Sir Sir, are there universities that offers admission to international students that have interest in coming to Finland to learn only Finish language?

@JESUSCHRISTISLORD3510 Studying in Finland through summer courses, such as Finnish language and culture studies at summer universities or other institute-organized courses, is a good way to familiarize oneself with the country and its language. Typically, these courses offer a comprehensive package that includes not only instruction but also accommodation and possibly other culture-related activities. As for residence permits based on studying, short-term study in Finland, such as attending summer courses, usually does not require a residence permit if the course lasts less than 90 days. However, individuals from outside the EU should take note of visa regulations.

@@JohnofFinland291 ok thanks, Sir

Hello! All the links shown in the video to the description section. I hope this helps!

Hei, ole hyvä vaan! Where are you from, and what is your native language? Additionally, what is your educational background and experience?

@@JohnofFinland291 kiitos. I am from Nigeria

Hello, if I remember correctly, you previously inquired about jobs that do not require work experience or education. In the Åland Islands, there are agricultural jobs available at various farms, and for example, apple orchards are looking for seasonal workers. In the video, I mention places like Daniels Frukt. Meanwhile, in Lapland, during the winter, hundreds of helpers for Santa Claus, often referred to as elves, are recruited all across Lapland. Swedish is easy to learn, and even with basic knowledge, you can go far. 🇦🇽🇦🇽🇫🇮🇫🇮🇸🇪🇸🇪

Welcome to my channel and thank you for the information. Where are you from and where are you now?

@@JohnofFinland291 I am from West Africa, Liberia, currently in India

@@JESUSCHRISTISLORD3510 Thank you, that’s nice to hear! Unfortunately, I don’t know much about your country. I do know that we have quite a few Indians here, many of whom study and/or work in the IT sector.

@@JohnofFinland291 ok Sir I appeal that you please create a platform for consultation, if possible For we your subscribers

@@JESUSCHRISTISLORD3510 Several people have asked for consultations, but I have not yet undertaken them. I am exploring platforms and considering your suggestion. Being new here, my intention was to gauge the level of interest in my channel. Based on acquiring a sufficient number of followers and their requests, I will decide if I want to start consulting. Thank you for your interest!

Hi! Actually, there is no such degree in Finland. The closest equivalent is the qualification for a practical nurse. The video contains all the information and all the options. Did you have the opportunity to watch the video carefully?

This might be the closest training to what you were looking for. To become a care assistant, one typically undergoes vocational training at a secondary education institution by completing a program based on modules from the Vocational Qualification in Social and Health Care (practical nurse). The program entails 60 competence points and usually spans about one year. However, it should be noted that this is a training program, not a formal qualification. The training is available in Finnish and Swedish.

In nearly all universities in Finland, you can study for a bachelor's and master's degree in English. Scholarships or grants are available, and each university has slightly different offerings. I will make a video about them at some point. Thank you for your request. Currently, I have only one video about a university of applied sciences and the master's degrees available there. The application period has already passed, but the video might still be of some help to you.

@@JohnofFinland291 please let me know as soon as you upload it. The ones I check is asking for tuition fee for masters

@@seraphinaeboka6409 University education is not free for citizens of non-EU countries. You will have to pay for it, and you might be able to get some of this money back later. I cannot make a video about 100% free university education, as the rules change every year. Tuition fees in Finland are comparatively affordable internationally, generally ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 euros per semester. In some years, exceptionally talented students have been able to study at various universities on a 100% scholarship.

Vocational schools in Finland do not offer scholarships. You can apply to a university of applied sciences where you can study logistics. Tuition fees might be around 5000-10000 €, and it is possible to receive at least a partial scholarship. These are specific to each UAS and change annually. University fees in Finland are relatively affordable internationally, compared to England, Australia, Canada, or the USA.

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

Yes, it's true and it's good to keep grit:lab in mind and follow when their next application period opens. As a tip, you might also want to directly inquire about job opportunities at their partner companies. Åland is a bit like the Monaco of Finland. This autonomous region is the wealthiest in Finland and the unemployment rate is nearly zero. They have their own postal service and stamps, police force, radio and television, health and medical services, and a few other independent operations separate from Finland. I forgot to mention all this in the video.

I dunno yet!

You're welcome!

You’re welcome! "I wish you luck and success!

You’re welcome!

Hello, it's www.jobly.fi

Hello, nice to hear that you like my channel. I have traveled extensively around Finland and enjoy exploring and adventuring with various things.

Hello, thank you for your message! The purpose of my channel is to share information about study and work opportunities in Finland. From there, it is up to the viewer to do the final work. Currently, I am not able to offer personal support. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, please, I have introduced all possible schools for nursing assistant training in the videos. Please take a look at the videos and the websites featured in them. You will find the necessary information there.

I wish you and your family luck and success. Lapland is really cold, but we dress very well. Moreover, our homes and buildings are well-insulated and warm even in winter. In winter, there are many more tourists in Lapland than local residents. In autumn, tourists from Finland and German-speaking countries arrive. Although there are still quite a few tourists in the summer, the nature is incredibly beautiful then. Imagine the sun not setting at all, shining 24/7. In winter, depending on how far north you are, you might not see the sun for 2 to 52 days. During this time, you can enjoy the Northern Lights and shooting stars.

Hello pls I am Nigerian too can we chat about Finland I am interested

Hello, thank you for your message! I wish you luck and success. Vaasa is a beautiful city. Also consider following other schools to improve your chances.

My name is Iddrisu from Ghana, aside from vamia, is there any other school that are accepting foreign students or international students?

@user-fq5xp8mk8k "Hello dear friend, were you able to watch the entire video peacefully to the end? You'll find the answer on the video. If needed, use automatic English subtitles. 😉

Should you be fortunate enough to secure a study placement, let's try to meet in Helsinki, even if it's just at the airport! If that's okay for you?

John I love what you do ,do you have any vocational training in Human Resources in Finland ?

You’re welcome!

Hello, The purpose of my channel is to share information about various educational and employment opportunities. At least for now, I have not directly assisted in application processes. The application process for vocational schools is very straightforward, and by following the schools’ instructions, you can complete the application independently. You can also get more information about different schools and their application deadlines by watching my videos related to vocational education. Let’s see if I can offer help with application processes later on, if my channel gains more followers and viewers.

I hope it’s useful and that you like the video.

@@JohnofFinland291 Hi John, where can I email or connect with you?

@@ItsStrawberryShortCake My email should be in the details of my channel, but you can leave a message here. johnoffinland291(at)gmail.com

@@JohnofFinland291 thanks John! It's not on your CZcams profile details. I will send you an email. 😊

@ItsStrawberryShortCake I apologize, I thought I had made it public in the settings. Thank you for letting me know! 😌

Thank you very much for your attention! It brings me joy to continue producing videos for my followers and for those who have given a thumbs up. I always strive to seek and verify the accuracy of information. Unfortunately, there are CZcams videos circulating that either intentionally or accidentally disseminate false information. These videos come from many countries, and some even promote paid services, urging viewers to call premium rate numbers. I prefer not to point out any specific nationalities, but it is regrettable that in some cases, these videos involve compatriots of some of my followers. I mention this to ensure no one loses money believing they are receiving accurate information, which they might use, for example, to apply to educational institutions. Please be cautious, everyone, and make an effort to verify information through official sources if the promises seem too good to be true. I also strive to use and share information from official websites as a reliable source. The biggest misconception is also with the term "vocational school / vocational college," which is not a university in Finland, but it does provide a pathway to apply for universities of applied sciences or universities. In practice, most of those who complete vocational college go on to a university of applied sciences. Meanwhile, the majority of those who graduate from high school go on to a university, and both UAS (Universities of Applied Sciences) and universities are considered institutions of higher education in Finland.

Hello, thank you for your message! Yes, you can. Job advertisements specify whether a residence permit is required at the time of application.

Hello Bright and welcome to my channel!

Hi Fred, glad you liked the video and welcome to my channel. Here in Finland, we have several people from Kenya working as practical nurses, registered nurses, and even a few as doctors.

@@JohnofFinland291Hi John also from kenya have you seen nurse assistants or cna from kenya kindly give us where we can apply legitimately.Thank you for your videos

@@njerination Check out my latest video, ‘Discover Career Opportunities in Åland, Finland - Work, Live, and Learn.’ Perhaps a Lapland season video could help too. There are a few websites where you can generally find any kind of job in Finland.

Hello, please inquire directly about the school via email.

Hi you could try searching on Google with the keywords "English speaking daycare in Finland". Contact the daycares directly, and perhaps one of them might offer you a job.
