Career planning
Career planning is a process that lasts throughout your study time and it pays to start it in the early stages of your studies. Navigating in the mesh of different options calls for a constant making of small and big decisions. The purpose of career planning is to find a clear goal for your studies. The ultimate goal is to find a job that answers to your interests and qualifications.
Career counselling supports you in making decisions when you plan your studies and career by offering tools that help you with increasing self-knowledge, evaluating different education and employment opportunities, and setting personal goals.
Career counselling is offered in the form of one-on-one discussions or group counselling sessions. One-on-one discussions between the student and the career counsellor are confidential. As a student/recent graduate, you can use the discussions to reflect upon your future, education or working life to find solutions to any issues that may be troubling you. The discussions are always based on your questions and needs.
Appointments to the career counsellors of the University of Eastern Finland are available for bachelor’s and master’s degree students and recent graduates. You can book an appointment from a career counsellor for job seeking advice (30 min.) or career counselling (60 min.) Book appointments in the JobTeaser service: uef.jobteaser.com.
