EMPLOYMENT, INTEGRATION, AND WELL-BEING
The Partner's Path - Peer Support for the Immigrant Partners of Intercultural Families on the Path to Employment project was a project funded by the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA, former RAY) between 2017 and 2020. The main objective of the project was to improve the employability, integration and well-being of immigrants who have moved to Finland as partners or spouses through peer support.
The project organised activities both for the foreign and Finnish partner in an intercultural relationship, separately and together as a couple. The Finnish partner plays an important part in the employment and integration of the foreign partner, and the project organised peer support for the couple, as well as for both partner's individually. The peer support groups were targeted mainly towards intercultural couples or families in which the immigrant partner had already lived in Finland for 1-3 years, and had at least a basic understanding of the Finnish language. However, most activities were open to other intercultural couples as well, and the project was able to reach intercultural couples in different situations.
As well as organising activities and peer support, the project gathered information on the circumstances and needs of intercultural couples and families on employment, integration, and well-being.
