Networks for immigrant workers

In the networks, you can meet other immigrants who work in shops, restaurants, cleaning companies, or other private service industries. You can share experiences and knowledge, learn Finnish, and work together for a better work life.

The networks have activities in Helsinki-Uusimaa region, Southwest Finland (Turku area) and Pirkanmaa (Tampere area). We also have activities online, so you can participate from anywhere. Come join us!

Who can come?

All immigrants working in service industries or studying for service professions are welcome to participate in the networks. You can come even if you’re not a member of PAM . Bring a friend along!

PAM Networks also operate online on the Howspace-platform. There you can learn Finnish language and rules and practices of working life in Finland with us.
