Three week online-group

The CareerBoost programm is targeted for the unemployed members of six Akava unions, TEK being one of them. In your group, you can share the successes and disappointments of your job search, get encouragement and feedback, as well as new perspectives on the direction of your own skills and the flow for successful employment.

Each week has its own themes, tips and exercises that will propel you to a new job. Every day from Monday to Friday, there will be job search-related activities. The tasks take about two hours a day.
