Career services
One of the most important tasks of TAMK Career Services is to help you to find your place in working life after graduating. We help and guide you with e.g. planning your career and everything related to searching jobs and internships. You can participate in group coaching sessions and workshops, receive personal career guidance, or come to the job search clinic to ask for tips for your CV with low threshold.
All our services are free of charge for TAMK students.
Trainings and workshops
Every year in January, we organize a three-day-long Career Week event. During this event TAMK students can participate in many workshops and lectures supporting career planning and job search. The events are held by experts representing employers and working life related projects, and TAMK's own career counselors and other lecturers. The schedule of Career Week organized one week before the Gateway to Working Life recruitment event.
We also organize open coaching sessions and workshops related to job searching, working life, and career planning, which you can freely participate in. Every Thursday, we hold a Job Search Clinic in front of the Parvi space on the service street of TAMK's main campus, where you can come to get feedback on your job application documents. We also share information about career events and coaching sessions organized by other entities that are suitable for TAMK students. Follow current information on all following career events on JobTeaser's event page.
Also, degree programs can ask us to keep a training with chosen topic for a specific student group.
