The English translations of the Datero’s Smart Tools Instructions above were made possible by the Talent Boost program, which is coordinated and funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment and the Ministry of Education and Culture. The program promotes work- and education-based immigration in Finland and aims to attract international talent to meet the country’s labor market needs. Through this program, an internship was established at Datero ry and these translations were completed by its interns.
