”I think the course was good in stirring up thoughts and it helped me analyze my own, sometimes scattered, thoughts about my future career. Although I already had a lot of knowledge about the working life, this course was a good add-on in creating my own career plan.”
”Thanks to the career plan I composed during the course, I now feel more confident about my studies. The course clarified my career aims and I also got a clear picture of what working life skills I already possess and what I should develop further.”
The job-seeking self-study course furnished students with hands-on tools to be used in practice:
”I managed to find new job seeking methods that I can use in the job seeking process. The different channels where jobs can be found were especially useful.”
The basics of Finnish working life self-study course introduces the general outlook of the Finnish working environment with its regulations and habits:
“I think this course was good especially for foreign students who would like to find a job from Finland.”
