Future Savo launches a global talent ambassador programme in Central Savonia

10 carefully selected international talent already present in the region will be awarded an honorary title of Future Savo Talent Ambassador” and become storytellers of "why Savonia” to convey the opportunity to study, work and live in the region to like-minded international peers.

– We are very excited to launch this initiative and work directly with key stakeholders and global talent on promoting our region while sharing stories of the value international talent can give to our society and region. We look forward to the dialogue, co-creation, and fun we will have directly with the international talents already here, but mostly the initial opportunity to thank them for being here and recognize them as outstanding individuals, says program manager Marianne Lindroth.

The goal is to provide a win-win relationship, where the global talents feel appreciated and get value from the programme through personal branding, competence development, access to key decision-makers, and fun activities, while the region in return benefits from peer to peer marketing activities utilizing the voice and story of the ambassadors.

Professionals in the following industries will be preferred CMC machinists and Welders,  Experts in the machinery and energy business, and Healthcare professions such as doctors and nurses.
