What's on

15.02.2022

Come and listen about working in Finland at ISYY’s working life event!

Welcome to ISYY’s first working life themed day of 2022 on 23 February starting from 10.15 am! The theme of the English lectures is how to get started if you wish to work in Finland while you study or after you have graduated. We also have a lecture on how to write a cover letter for your job application. The event is held online and you can follow the programme on ISYY’s Youtube channel. Questions can be asked also via YouTube’s comment section. You can see the day’s programme below.

ISYY’s working life event is divided into four different days throughout the year 2022. The days will cover different topics from job hunting to skills needed in working life and we will have speakers as well as organise workshops. Some of the programme is in Finnish, but part of the days’ programme is aimed specifically at international students and is completely in English. You are of course welcome to join the Finnish lectures too!
