The Kainuu Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Kainuu organises module format integration education for immigrants in cooperation with Employment and Economic Development Offices in the region. Integration education is organised for adult immigrants falling under the scope of the Act on the Integration of Immigrants and Reception of Asylum Seekers. The education is primarily related to labour policy , and intended to improve the immigrants’ command of Finnish or Swedish and their knowledge of Finnish society.

The external evaluation’s objective is to develop the module model in a more results-oriented and efficient direction, so that it might better serve the integration objectives set for immigrants.
