00:00:03.316 --> 00:00:07.540
Thank you so much, Helena, for
that nice introduction and for

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/27-1
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:09.516
inviting me to to speak here.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/39-0
00:00:10.496 --> 00:00:14.406
As I told you before, this is
actually my my first guest talk.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/59-0
00:00:15.286 --> 00:00:19.970
Or or something like that if if
you will. So it's also a great

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/59-1
00:00:19.970 --> 00:00:23.316
opportunity for me to be sharing
some of my.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/76-0
00:00:24.136 --> 00:00:29.716
My thoughts and ideas on career
mentoring and multiliteracies

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/76-1
00:00:29.716 --> 00:00:31.966
let me start. Yeah, well.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/112-0
00:00:32.906 --> 00:00:36.769
As you mentioned already, I work
at the University of Avascular

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/112-1
00:00:36.769 --> 00:00:40.450
in Finland. I'll be showing you
a map a bit later where that

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/112-2
00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:43.770
actually is. If you're not
definite that familiar with

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/112-3
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:44.916
finished geography.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/115-0
00:00:45.876 --> 00:00:46.786
But UM.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/122-0
00:00:47.946 --> 00:00:51.056
Ohh, you know, university is
white.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/143-0
00:00:52.476 --> 00:00:57.411
Well organized and informed in
applied language studies,

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/143-1
00:00:57.411 --> 00:01:01.566
especially so. That's our
special special area.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/150-0
00:01:02.626 --> 00:01:04.576
And I'm affiliated with some.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/161-0
00:01:05.326 --> 00:01:09.976
A profiling area which is more
or less an instrument of.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/165-0
00:01:11.006 --> 00:01:12.336
University funding.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/175-0
00:01:14.226 --> 00:01:17.746
That's called multi leap, I have
the.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/191-0
00:01:18.696 --> 00:01:24.753
Logo right there, why not? My
slides appear, everything seem

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/191-1
00:01:24.753 --> 00:01:25.746
OK Helena.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/194-0
00:01:26.316 --> 00:01:26.956
Good here.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/199-0
00:01:28.146 --> 00:01:29.716
OK. And the slides are there.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/207-0
00:01:30.306 --> 00:01:32.996
Mm-hmm. And we see multileaf.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/203-0
00:01:31.056 --> 00:01:31.446
Yes.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/213-0
00:01:33.846 --> 00:01:35.436
Kit, thank you very much.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/217-0
00:01:36.496 --> 00:01:37.696
And so.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/227-0
00:01:38.856 --> 00:01:41.486
The profiling area is like an
UM.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/250-0
00:01:42.386 --> 00:01:46.173
Researcher community combining
various approaches to

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/250-1
00:01:46.173 --> 00:01:50.674
multiliteracies and my approach
is related to career mentoring

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/250-2
00:01:50.674 --> 00:01:52.746
for highly educated migrants.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/262-0
00:01:53.376 --> 00:01:58.875
And as already said, I take a
multiliteracies perspective to

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/262-1
00:01:58.875 --> 00:01:59.866
this topic.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/279-0
00:02:01.126 --> 00:02:05.344
Right. Umm, here's the outline
of what's going to be happening

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/279-1
00:02:05.344 --> 00:02:07.486
for the next half an hour or so.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/323-0
00:02:09.006 --> 00:02:13.873
So first I'll give you a few
facts and figures about Finland.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/323-1
00:02:13.873 --> 00:02:18.505
The numbers of migrants in
Finland, what languages are the

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/323-2
00:02:18.505 --> 00:02:23.293
most widely spoken and so on.
Then I move on to the research

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/323-3
00:02:23.293 --> 00:02:28.003
interest and context why I
started this and what I'm hoping

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/323-4
00:02:28.003 --> 00:02:28.866
to achieve.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/345-0
00:02:29.896 --> 00:02:34.377
Then some theoretical points of
departure and initial findings I

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/345-1
00:02:34.377 --> 00:02:38.721
just got started with collecting
data a year ago, so I haven't

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/345-2
00:02:38.721 --> 00:02:40.306
really gotten very far.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/364-0
00:02:41.086 --> 00:02:46.144
With this yet Ohh it's it's more
like initial findings at this

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/364-1
00:02:46.144 --> 00:02:49.516
point and then I'd be very happy
to hear.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/382-0
00:02:50.486 --> 00:02:55.796
Any thoughts you might have
towards the end of where this

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/382-1
00:02:55.796 --> 00:02:58.176
could go in the future or?

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/397-0
00:02:59.136 --> 00:03:02.586
How? How you how do you see? Uh,
these findings.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/399-0
00:03:04.616 --> 00:03:05.266
Being.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/408-0
00:03:06.246 --> 00:03:09.796
Consist and put forward in the
future.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/415-0
00:03:10.976 --> 00:03:13.936
And then questions and
discussion in the at.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/442-0
00:03:16.036 --> 00:03:20.636
Right, so this is a map of
Finland and you muscular is

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/442-1
00:03:20.636 --> 00:03:25.905
right here in the central part
as we call it, Central Finland,

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/442-2
00:03:25.905 --> 00:03:28.916
a capital Helsinki case right
here.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/454-0
00:03:30.296 --> 00:03:35.040
And Finland is a it's a brother
blown country, not a very big

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/454-1
00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:35.346
one.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/470-0
00:03:36.106 --> 00:03:39.945
But neighbored by Sweden and
Norway and then Russia, we have

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/470-1
00:03:39.945 --> 00:03:41.896
a long land border with Russia.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-0
00:03:43.026 --> 00:03:47.276
You're probably more than
familiar with already. Here's

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-1
00:03:47.276 --> 00:03:51.222
the same map again and some
facts about the migrant

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-2
00:03:51.222 --> 00:03:55.851
population in Finland. So the
total of population of Finland

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-3
00:03:55.851 --> 00:04:00.025
is about 5.5 million. These
figures are from 2021, but

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-4
00:04:00.025 --> 00:04:04.502
didn't find any more recent
ones, but they're all not that

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/525-5
00:04:04.502 --> 00:04:05.716
drastic changes.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-0
00:04:06.756 --> 00:04:10.933
I believe, and we have a bit
short of a half a million people

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-1
00:04:10.933 --> 00:04:15.110
who speak some other language
than Finnish, Swedish or salami

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-2
00:04:15.110 --> 00:04:19.354
as their first language, and we
have two official languages in

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-3
00:04:19.354 --> 00:04:23.329
Finland that's finished and
switch like even for the whole

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-4
00:04:23.329 --> 00:04:27.102
country. And then Sammy is a
minority language that the

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/586-5
00:04:27.102 --> 00:04:29.796
speakers of which have specific
rights.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/595-0
00:04:30.676 --> 00:04:34.506
But it's a bit different than
the two official ones.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/618-0
00:04:35.826 --> 00:04:39.675
Umm, the largest groups of
foreign language speakers. Uh,

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/618-1
00:04:39.675 --> 00:04:43.392
Russians and Estonians. They
learn countries, so that's

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/618-2
00:04:43.392 --> 00:04:43.856
pretty.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/642-0
00:04:44.786 --> 00:04:50.493
Obvious I think, and the growth
of the foreign language speaking

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/642-1
00:04:50.493 --> 00:04:55.936
population has been growing very
rapidly in the recent years.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/666-0
00:04:56.636 --> 00:05:01.948
And last year it grew by more
than 25,000 people. So that's

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/666-1
00:05:01.948 --> 00:05:06.906
the highest we've had in 40
years. So you can see some.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/673-0
00:05:07.936 --> 00:05:10.046
Changes are taking place.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/686-0
00:05:11.606 --> 00:05:15.534
And these are the largest
background country groups in our

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/686-1
00:05:15.534 --> 00:05:16.266
population.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/711-0
00:05:16.926 --> 00:05:20.170
And they're the two first ones,
Russia and Estonia, where

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/711-1
00:05:20.170 --> 00:05:23.470
already mentioned. But then we
have people from many other

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/711-2
00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:24.476
countries as well.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/715-0
00:05:28.666 --> 00:05:31.046
And then about.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/728-0
00:05:32.076 --> 00:05:36.576
Languages that are most widely
spoken in addition to the three.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/785-0
00:05:37.556 --> 00:05:42.037
More or less official ones.
Finnish, Swedish and uh Sammy.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/785-1
00:05:42.037 --> 00:05:46.973
We have the third biggest group
is Arabic speakers. Then English

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/785-2
00:05:46.973 --> 00:05:51.226
comes right after and then
Somali, Farsi and so on. But

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/785-3
00:05:51.226 --> 00:05:55.783
there are some 150 languages
that are being spoken as first

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/785-4
00:05:55.783 --> 00:05:59.656
languages influence. So the
diversity is is quite.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/787-0
00:06:00.916 --> 00:06:01.466
Hi.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/800-0
00:06:03.166 --> 00:06:06.882
And these all these figures come
from statistics. Finland, which

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/800-1
00:06:06.882 --> 00:06:08.596
is the main major statistical.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/806-0
00:06:10.076 --> 00:06:12.346
Provider of information in
Finland.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/812-0
00:06:12.986 --> 00:06:14.796
And looking at this figure.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/842-0
00:06:16.536 --> 00:06:20.285
The point is that I'm trying to
make is that the greater

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/842-1
00:06:20.285 --> 00:06:24.429
Helsinki the capital area has by
far the largest proportion of

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/842-2
00:06:24.429 --> 00:06:27.586
foreign nationals or foreign
language speakers.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/868-0
00:06:29.106 --> 00:06:32.703
Compared to any other area in
the country or the whole

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/868-1
00:06:32.703 --> 00:06:36.365
country. So it's it's rather
different from the rest of

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/868-2
00:06:36.365 --> 00:06:39.176
Finland, for example, from the
area where.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/873-0
00:06:40.096 --> 00:06:41.486
I live and work.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/882-0
00:06:44.856 --> 00:06:48.786
OK. Moving on to the research
interest and context.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/885-0
00:06:50.316 --> 00:06:50.936
And.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/906-0
00:06:51.806 --> 00:06:55.302
You're probably more than aware
of of these things as well that

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/906-1
00:06:55.302 --> 00:06:58.196
migrants face a lot of
challenges in the job market.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/934-0
00:06:59.166 --> 00:07:03.713
And in expert level jobs, all
applicants are expected to have

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/934-1
00:07:03.713 --> 00:07:08.040
a high level of education, of
course, and know how the job

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/934-2
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.946
market works more or less.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/945-0
00:07:10.896 --> 00:07:17.106
Anything land finished language
skills are rather essential and.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/982-0
00:07:18.276 --> 00:07:22.665
My research has taken place in
two different areas in Finland

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/982-1
00:07:22.665 --> 00:07:26.770
and one of them is in the
Swedish speaking area, which is

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/982-2
00:07:26.770 --> 00:07:31.229
the the western coast and the
Helsinki area, where most people

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/982-3
00:07:31.229 --> 00:07:34.556
who have Swedish as their first
language live.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/984-0
00:07:35.546 --> 00:07:36.316
And.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1002-0
00:07:37.596 --> 00:07:42.468
Well, by law too, if you want to
apply for public office, you

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1002-1
00:07:42.468 --> 00:07:46.476
need to have a proficiency of
these two languages.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1041-0
00:07:47.566 --> 00:07:51.619
And in the area where I live,
there aren't that many sweetie

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1041-1
00:07:51.619 --> 00:07:56.003
speakers. They comprise about 5%
of the whole population, so it's

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1041-2
00:07:56.003 --> 00:08:00.122
a rather small minority, but
most of them live on the western

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1041-3
00:08:00.122 --> 00:08:03.776
coast or in the metropolitan
area. And in those areas.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1054-0
00:08:04.726 --> 00:08:08.476
It's much more important to have
Swedish skills as well.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1083-0
00:08:09.336 --> 00:08:14.247
If you want to apply for public
office so that can be

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1083-1
00:08:14.247 --> 00:08:20.250
complicating things for migrants
especially, they might learn one

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1083-2
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:22.796
of these languages first or.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1106-0
00:08:23.756 --> 00:08:27.446
As a priority, but then if they
would need to have proficiency

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1106-1
00:08:27.446 --> 00:08:31.195
in the other one as well, that
would complicate the story quite

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1106-2
00:08:31.195 --> 00:08:31.546
a bit.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1142-0
00:08:33.476 --> 00:08:38.406
Umm, there's lack of recognition
for degrees completed outside

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1142-1
00:08:38.406 --> 00:08:42.945
Finland. I think this applies
for many other countries as

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1142-2
00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:47.562
well, not only Finland, and
there are still quite a lot of

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1142-3
00:08:47.562 --> 00:08:50.066
discriminatory hiring practices.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1155-0
00:08:51.106 --> 00:08:55.854
Based on applicants names and
physical appearance, there was a

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1155-1
00:08:55.854 --> 00:08:57.286
study conducted by.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1183-0
00:08:58.176 --> 00:09:04.028
By Ahmad in 2019 that actually
UM compared figures like people

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1183-1
00:09:04.028 --> 00:09:09.416
applied for jobs with a finish
sounding name or a foreign

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1183-2
00:09:09.416 --> 00:09:10.716
sounding name.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1218-0
00:09:11.366 --> 00:09:14.889
And the ones with finish
sounding names were far more

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1218-1
00:09:14.889 --> 00:09:18.476
likely to be invited for
interviews than the ones with

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1218-2
00:09:18.476 --> 00:09:22.390
foreign sounding names, so this
has been actually proven as

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1218-3
00:09:22.390 --> 00:09:22.716
well.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1247-0
00:09:24.396 --> 00:09:29.681
And in addition, there can be
intersecting identities, for

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1247-1
00:09:29.681 --> 00:09:34.875
example a gender or impact
ground or physical ability can

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1247-2
00:09:34.875 --> 00:09:38.816
have various effects on whether
people are.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1254-0
00:09:39.646 --> 00:09:41.076
Getting jobs or not?

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1260-0
00:09:42.506 --> 00:09:45.166
For example, am A Jason.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1268-0
00:09:46.536 --> 00:09:50.606
Might appear differently for
male and female applicants.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1274-0
00:09:53.726 --> 00:09:57.496
Right then what led me to?

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1282-0
00:09:58.846 --> 00:10:02.786
To study this area more
specifically or.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1296-0
00:10:03.806 --> 00:10:09.096
In more detail is that I found a
report on the European Union.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1306-0
00:10:09.936 --> 00:10:13.846
That also recognize that there
is a growing need to.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1358-0
00:10:14.856 --> 00:10:19.050
Recognize Micron women's
especially women's skills and

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1358-1
00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:23.626
untapped potential in Finnish
society, and there isn't that

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1358-2
00:10:23.626 --> 00:10:28.277
much research on the rescaling
strategies that migrant women

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1358-3
00:10:28.277 --> 00:10:32.852
employ and about the ways they
refashion their language and

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1358-4
00:10:32.852 --> 00:10:37.046
literacy resources to gain
access to the labor market.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1363-0
00:10:38.356 --> 00:10:40.486
And often.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1371-0
00:10:41.216 --> 00:10:45.626
Learning the dominant language
is considered like.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1390-0
00:10:47.116 --> 00:10:51.438
The gateway to the job market,
but this isn't really as simple

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1390-1
00:10:51.438 --> 00:10:51.986
as that.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1403-0
00:10:53.986 --> 00:10:58.149
Because there are lots of other
factors that complicate the

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1403-1
00:10:58.149 --> 00:10:59.536
process quite a lot.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1417-0
00:11:00.376 --> 00:11:04.327
Sometimes, even migrant
employability has been equated

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1417-1
00:11:04.327 --> 00:11:06.266
with language and literacy.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1420-0
00:11:07.166 --> 00:11:08.156
Development.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1431-0
00:11:10.176 --> 00:11:13.606
But we'll get into more details
a bit later.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1448-0
00:11:14.626 --> 00:11:19.482
And then career mentoring, what
is it and why is it so

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1448-1
00:11:19.482 --> 00:11:21.866
interesting to me to study?

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1457-0
00:11:23.506 --> 00:11:26.486
It has been studied quite
extensively.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1470-0
00:11:27.416 --> 00:11:31.466
In the context of higher
education, but not so much with.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1479-0
00:11:32.746 --> 00:11:35.696
The general dot job market or or
people that?

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1493-0
00:11:37.176 --> 00:11:41.021
Have completed higher education
degrees a bit earlier or in

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1493-1
00:11:41.021 --> 00:11:42.046
another country.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1514-0
00:11:43.106 --> 00:11:47.324
But it does help people find
employment by extending their

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1514-1
00:11:47.324 --> 00:11:51.684
networks and teaching them how
to navigate services that are

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1514-2
00:11:51.684 --> 00:11:53.256
often quite scattered.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1536-0
00:11:54.516 --> 00:11:58.935
In the context of higher
education, there's been quite a

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1536-1
00:11:58.935 --> 00:12:03.276
lot of studies. For example, the
benefits of mentoring.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1540-0
00:12:04.736 --> 00:12:06.416
They've noticed that.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1562-0
00:12:07.756 --> 00:12:11.825
Uh students are or the the
people who are involved in

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1562-1
00:12:11.825 --> 00:12:15.366
mentoring as actors, meaning the
participants.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1583-0
00:12:16.766 --> 00:12:21.498
Uh, they acquire practical
information from mentors. It

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1583-1
00:12:21.498 --> 00:12:26.399
increases there's resilience and
awareness about existing

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1583-2
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.596
organizational structures.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1595-0
00:12:31.196 --> 00:12:36.945
And then there is research sites
where I've conducted data

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1595-1
00:12:36.945 --> 00:12:38.016
collection.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1632-0
00:12:39.046 --> 00:12:43.650
There are two organizers of
career mentoring programs. One

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1632-1
00:12:43.650 --> 00:12:48.175
of them is an association
working on completely voluntary

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1632-2
00:12:48.175 --> 00:12:52.466
basis, and they've had these
activities since 2015, so

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1632-3
00:12:52.466 --> 00:12:53.636
they're pretty.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1651-0
00:12:54.656 --> 00:12:58.642
Well advanced in this respect
and the other one is a

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1651-1
00:12:58.642 --> 00:13:02.026
municipality in a different part
of Finland.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1656-0
00:13:03.296 --> 00:13:04.816
And in both of these.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1697-0
00:13:07.276 --> 00:13:10.917
Process is the mentors are
professionals who have a high

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1697-1
00:13:10.917 --> 00:13:14.494
proficiency in Finnish and
extensive work experience in

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1697-2
00:13:14.494 --> 00:13:18.326
Finland. Most of them are native
things, but there are some

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1697-3
00:13:18.326 --> 00:13:22.286
migrants who have been living in
Finland for a while already.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1728-0
00:13:23.306 --> 00:13:27.830
And the actors are then people
who are looking for work and

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1728-1
00:13:27.830 --> 00:13:32.579
have completed higher education
degrees outside Finland. These

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1728-2
00:13:32.579 --> 00:13:35.896
programs usually last for eight
months and.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1740-0
00:13:36.756 --> 00:13:41.726
There are three or four whole
group meetings for everyone and

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1740-1
00:13:41.726 --> 00:13:42.126
then.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1758-0
00:13:42.886 --> 00:13:47.498
They comprise of 10 to 12 mentor
active pairs who have casual

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1758-1
00:13:47.498 --> 00:13:50.026
one-on-one meetings once a
month.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1787-0
00:13:51.446 --> 00:13:56.163
And the the people who organized
these programs have have really

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1787-1
00:13:56.163 --> 00:14:00.735
put a great deal of effort into
matching these pairs according

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1787-2
00:14:00.735 --> 00:14:05.016
to their fields of expertise.
Here's a a figure trying to.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1794-0
00:14:06.156 --> 00:14:08.876
Illustrate this process in a bit
more detail.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1797-0
00:14:09.956 --> 00:14:11.056
And in.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1820-0
00:14:11.926 --> 00:14:16.380
In another way, this is based on
the women to men touring model

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1820-1
00:14:16.380 --> 00:14:20.276
that was developed by the Family
Federation of Finland.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1850-0
00:14:20.996 --> 00:14:24.821
And this describes the the
process, the 8th month long

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1850-1
00:14:24.821 --> 00:14:28.716
process before it actually
starts. There's of course an

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1850-2
00:14:28.716 --> 00:14:33.166
application process, and quite
often also training for mentors.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1874-0
00:14:33.916 --> 00:14:37.278
If they wish to have it, and if
they're doing it for the first

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1874-1
00:14:37.278 --> 00:14:40.533
time, like the the organize
organization that has been doing

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1874-2
00:14:40.533 --> 00:14:41.066
mentoring.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1887-0
00:14:41.946 --> 00:14:46.653
Or a ring organizing these
programs since 2015, they've had

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1887-1
00:14:46.653 --> 00:14:47.986
the same mentors.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1910-0
00:14:50.206 --> 00:14:54.225
In a number of processes, so
most of the mentors are already

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1910-1
00:14:54.225 --> 00:14:56.596
familiar with how the process
goes.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1922-0
00:14:57.636 --> 00:15:01.818
But there are the three meetings
with the whole mentoring group

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1922-1
00:15:01.818 --> 00:15:02.406
and then.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1941-0
00:15:03.486 --> 00:15:07.939
There are four to five months in
between of the first, the

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1941-1
00:15:07.939 --> 00:15:10.656
intermediate and the final
meeting.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1986-0
00:15:12.086 --> 00:15:17.476
And then during the process,
mentors and actors meet once or

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1986-1
00:15:17.476 --> 00:15:22.424
twice a month, very casually,
often in a cafeteria or a

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1986-2
00:15:22.424 --> 00:15:28.079
library, or maybe go for a walk
or a concert, or they been very

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1986-3
00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:32.496
ingenious in figuring out
different ways to meet.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/1998-0
00:15:34.206 --> 00:15:38.576
Here's more information on the
women to mentoring program.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/2003-0
00:15:40.026 --> 00:15:41.296
If you're interested.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/2011-0
00:15:42.326 --> 00:15:46.196
OK, then, uh briefly introducing
multiliteracies then.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/2014-0
00:15:48.126 --> 00:15:48.816
And.

4dbc0631-522e-4756-8c1e-0fbc908d1c7f/2017-0
00:15:50.266 --> 00:15:51.266
The multi.
