What Is Finland Works 2026?
Finland Works is an online recruitment event created to connect people interested in working in Finland with organizations looking for talent.
The event goes beyond simply publishing vacancies.
Registered jobseekers can create a profile, upload their CV, explore available positions, visit virtual employer stands and communicate directly with participating employers during the event.
This gives candidates an opportunity to learn more about employers and positions while potentially making direct professional connections.
For someone considering Finland as a future destination for work, the event can also provide an introduction to the country’s employment market and working environment.
Why Consider Working in Finland?
Finland offers employment opportunities across a range of industries, from advanced technology and startups to manufacturing, sustainability, hospitality and other traditional sectors.
The organizers highlight several aspects of Finnish working life that may appeal to international professionals.
- Career opportunities: Finland has opportunities in areas including technology, innovation, sustainability, manufacturing and other industries.
- Work-life balance: Finnish workplaces are known for emphasizing reasonable working hours, flexibility and respect for employees’ personal time.
- Equality and trust: The event highlights Finland’s relatively open workplace culture, where communication and collaboration are encouraged and employees can have a voice in organizational decisions.
- Safety and stability: Finland is presented as a safe and stable country for professionals and families looking for a new place to live and work.
- Lifestyle: Beyond employment, Finland offers access to nature, outdoor activities, cultural events and a distinctive Nordic lifestyle.
For people looking for a combination of career development and quality of life, Finland can therefore be an attractive destination to investigate.

- Technology professionals.
- AI and digital specialists.
- Quality professionals.

How to Prepare Before the Event
EURES recommends that jobseekers prepare their profiles and applications before the event.
1. Create Your Jobseeker Profile
Register on the European Job Days platform and complete your jobseeker profile.
Your profile helps employers understand your background and can also be used when matching candidates with available positions.
2. Upload Your CV
Make sure your CV is current and professionally presented.
Your CV should clearly show:
- Your education.
- Work experience.
- Technical skills.
- Language abilities.
- Professional certifications.
- Relevant achievements.
- Contact information.
- The type of work you are seeking.
3. Apply Early
Don’t wait until the day of the event to start looking at vacancies.
Review the available jobs in advance and apply for positions that match your qualifications.
The event page may also receive new postings, so checking regularly can help you discover additional opportunities.
4. Research Employers
Take time to learn about the participating employers before the event.
Understanding what an organization does will make it easier to have a meaningful conversation with recruiters.
5. Prepare for Interviews
Some employers may use the event to communicate with potential candidates.
Prepare to explain:
- Your professional background.
- Why you want to work in Finland.
- Why you are interested in the particular position.
- Your relevant experience.
- Your availability.
- Your language skills.
- Your work authorization situation.
Chat Directly With Employers
One of the most useful features of the event is the ability to communicate with employers online.
On the event day, registered participants can use the “Chat with Employers” function to connect with participating organizations.
This can give jobseekers an opportunity to introduce themselves and ask questions about vacancies, recruitment procedures and working in Finland.
Candidates should approach these conversations professionally, just as they would when speaking to a recruiter at an in-person career fair.
For International Jobseekers
If you are currently living outside Finland, the event can be a useful starting point for understanding the Finnish labour market.
However, attending the event or applying for a position does not automatically provide the right to work in Finland.
International candidates should determine whether the particular employer and position can support the necessary work authorization and should check the applicable Finnish immigration requirements before making relocation plans.
The event itself should therefore be viewed as a recruitment and networking opportunity, rather than a guarantee of employment or visa sponsorship.
Why This Event Is Worth Exploring
For jobseekers who have been searching for opportunities in Finland, Finland Works 2026 offers something particularly useful: multiple employers and vacancies in one online recruitment event.
Instead of contacting employers individually, participants can use the platform to explore different positions, research organizations and potentially communicate with recruiters.
The currently listed vacancies also demonstrate the variety of work available, from industrial and manufacturing positions to AI, technology and quality-related roles.
How to Participate
Jobseekers interested in attending should register through the official European Job Days event page, create their profile and upload their CV before the event.
Once registered, candidates can browse the available vacancies, review participating employers and prepare for online conversations with recruiters.
