Silkkitie, owned by Sotjätti Attendo, is currently in the process of recruiting nursing staff from India. The local partner is optimistic about the potential for this initiative. Vikas, a 25-year-old nurse from Delhi, is among those who will be moving to Finland next summer. Despite his nervousness about an interview with a Finnish journalist, Vikas is excited about the opportunity to live and work abroad in what he has heard is the happiest country in the world.
Coming from a small village in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Vikas has dreamt of living overseas since he was young. He has some knowledge of Finnish language basics and is looking forward to experiencing a new culture. The recruitment of nurses from India to Finland is part of a larger business venture between Silk Road and Indian Walsons Healthcare, which recently signed an agreement to bring a significant number of Indian nurses to Finland.
Walsons Healthcare, Silkkitie’s partner, sees a growing demand for nursing workers from India in Finland. The company has a strong track record in the healthcare industry in countries like Britain and Germany and is now expanding its operations to the Nordic region. In order to ensure the success of this initiative, candidates undergo rigorous recruitment processes and language assessments. While Indian nursing degrees may not be recognized in Finland, opportunities for further education and career advancement are available for those who make the move.
Silkkitie is focused on responsible recruitment practices and aims to provide job seekers with transparent information about their employment opportunities in Finland. The company values authenticity and works diligently to verify the backgrounds and qualifications of all candidates. By leveraging technology and expertise, Silkkitie ensures that individuals are well-prepared for their transition to Finland and have access to ongoing support and development opportunities.
In addition to addressing the shortage of healthcare personnel in Finland, Silkkitie is also working to attract families to relocate to Finland. By recruiting nursing professionals and their families, the company aims to create a sense of community and stability for individuals who are making the move. This approach aligns with Silkkitie’s commitment to promoting sustainable growth and positive outcomes for both employees and the Finnish healthcare industry.
