Canada's model for residence permits: a direct route for international talent
TEK and Ekonomit propose a new migration pathway to Finland to attract talent. Like in Canada, it would offer immigrants the opportunity to obtain an immediate permanent residence permit, with selections for this proposed pathway made on a points basis. Points could be awarded for having expertise in areas suffering labour shortages, or based on education and language skills.

Stereotypes and a masculine culture keep women in the minority in technology
Attempts have been made to increase the number of women in the field of technology for decades. However, the attempts have not been successful: In Finland, only one in five technology professionals is a woman. It is often argued that women lack an innate interest in technology. However, the lack of interest is not the cause but the consequence: the technology industry is structured to be masculine.

Blog: Is it still possible to avoid a head-on collision in the labor market?
The methods are many, said the farmer when he drove his tractor through the wall of the barn. With a similar approach, the government is relentlessly promoting labor market-related legal changes that have been recorded in the government program, despite the proposals and opposition of trade unions.

Universities and workplaces need guidance on how to use artificial intelligence
62 percent of tech students use generative artificial intelligence tools in their studies. According to surveys conducted by TEK in the autumn of 2023, AI tools have been adopted faster in studies than in working life. However, there is a lot of uncertainty among tech students about the use of artificial intelligence. Respondents in working life, on the other hand, are very confident about the continuation of their own employment despite the increasing use of AI tools.
