Initial assessments
Did you know that, as an international degree student, you can request an Initial assessment from International Jyväskylä – Info Center (as per the Finnish Act on the Promotion of Immigrant integration)? Initial assessment is meant to map out your possible needs related to studies and language training, employment, socializing and networking, hobbies or any other aspect, which could help you integrate better into the Finnish society. It does not matter if you are new here or have been living in this region for quite a while. You can get in touch with us. More information about us and our counselors from our webpage: International Jyväskylä – Info Center in English | Jyväskylä.fi (jyvaskyla.fi)
