SWEDISH FOR RUSSIAN HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL

Learnwell Oy is starting to offer internet-based courses in Swedish for Russian health care personnel. When the number of foreign caretakers increases, so does the need for their ability to speak Swedish. For some time now, The Swedish Culture Foundation has studied how they could offer internet-based courses for foreign health care personnel. A possible target group for the development project has turned out to be the Russian-speaking health care personnel who are interested in working in the health care for the elderly in Finland.

The project starts during the early fall of 2009 and the website is launched in the spring of 2010. http://www.kulturfonden.fi/svenska/om/aktuellt/artikel-14395-10087.html
