<\/span>A consultancy firm calls on the state to provide funding for seasonal workers to receive short-term vocational training, and also suggests offering training courses in English. An acute shortage of skilled workers is threatening the future of the Finnish forestry sector, and Finland needs to recruit more workers from abroad to ensure its survival. That's according to the results of a\u00a0report\u00a0published on Wednesday by Tapio, a forestry management and consultancy firm.<\/p>\n

The report states that the sector needs to recruit up to 1,000 new workers annually to compensate for the number of retirements as well as other factors reducing the amount of skilled workers. The consultancy firm further warns that the shortage may affect not only forest management work, but also the timber harvesting and transport sectors of the industry.<\/p>\n

Finland forestry companies often hire seasonal workers from abroad \u2014 in particular from non-EU countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines \u2014 to plug the gap in skilled labour. Although this has provided a temporary solution, Tapio's report suggests that state funding should be provided for these seasonal workers to receive short-term vocational training \u2014 with a particular emphasis on occupational safety and adapting to Finnish working life.<\/p>\n

In addition, the firm notes that the requirement for fluent Finnish language skills has limited the chances that foreigners, already living in Finland, have of landing a job in the sector. Tapio therefore calls for more forestry-focused training courses to be provided in English. The challenges facing Finland's forestry industry are further exacerbated by the finding that the capacity of Finnish forests to absorb planet-warming emissions\u00a0was previously overestimated. This has led to widespread calls for the industry to operate in more climate-friendly ways, including in a\u00a0recent report\u00a0by the Climate Panel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
