Päijät-Häme Immigration Programme
The Päijät-Häme immigration programme is the view of various actors about how immigration work supports the growth and development of the region, as well as how integration into the region can be strengthened. It is the aim of the Päijät-Häme immigration programme to increase work-based immigration and the employment and integration of immigrants in all municipalities in the region. It is also an important goal of the immigration programme to increase the inclusion and social equality of migrants. Alipi is, like other actors involved, committed to achieving these goals of the immigration programme.
The programme for the period 2021-2025:

Project Activity
There are various on-going projects in Päijät-Häme every year, with the aim of promoting the rapid integration and employment of immigrants in the Päijät-Häme region. The target groups of the projects are people with a refugee background and people with other immigrant backgrounds. There are projects for a wide range of target groups, ranging from the illiterate and other particularly vulnerable groups to those highly trained international professionals. Many projects also organise, for example, various leisure activities, friendship activities and assistance in studying the Finnish language and finding a job.
The projects are implemented in the Päijät-Häme region by many different organisations, such as the City of Lahti, other municipalities in the region, the Päijät-Häme Welfare Consortium (PHHYKY), educational institutions and actors from the 3rd and 4th sectors.
Alipi also participates in project activities and actively cooperates with other actors in the region.
