Technological transformation, AI and migrant skills in the Finnish labour market
Description of the granted funding
The TAIMI project takes Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) as a point of departure to the dual challenge of chronic labour deficit in critical sectors, such as healthcare, and a mismatch between the supply of skills of workers and market demands. The project's objectives are as follows: advancing diversity and inclusion, developing AI-driven solutions, and generating sector-specific insights. We employ quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g. interviews and surveys) to investigate how DEI skills can be scaled to foster inclusive workplaces, particularly in care, IT, manufacturing, and transportation sectors. By collaborating with policymakers, organizations, and amongst researchers, TAIMI aims to create actionable solutions that support migrant retention, skill development, and societal cohesion, ensuring a sustainable and inclusive future for Finland's workforce. Research sites are: Universities of Aalto, Hanken, Helsinki, Jyväskylä, LUT and VTT.
