Tiivistelmä
This study was conducted in order to reveal the current status of graduates of African background of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences from 2003 to 2015. This was made possible by reviewing the internationalisation strategy of Finnish higher education institutions 2009 – 2015 and the internationalisation policy of Seinäjoki UAS. Moreover, the study also considered the situation regarding the employment of foreigners in the Finnish labour market.
Data collection was made possible following the mixed method approach. A total of 25 persons were surveyed while interviews were conducted for 10 persons. The results revealed that 96 % of the respondents still live in Finland in which most of them work in cleaning companies with just a few working in old people’s home.
The findings can be useful for future student recruitment, curriculum development, policy review and the strengthening of academic programmes.
