The summer job process is a vital part of entering and integrating into the Finnish working life. It also however comes with a range of questions, especially when it is your first time in the country.  

At the “Get a (Summer) Job” event, experts from TEK aim to answer most common questions, and give you tips towards succeeding in both entering and thriving in Finnish working life. The event is aimed especially at international students, but all students are welcome. It will be held completely in English on Thursday 7.11. from 14.15-16.00. 

The event will take place in the Tampere TEK Lounge, in the Hervanta campus (Korkeakoulunkatu 7). Refreshments will be provided at the lounge. 

In addition to Tampere, we will organise stream studios in Lappeenranta and Lahti, where you can watch the stream of the event with other tech students. 

You're also welcome to sign up remotely to follow the stream of the event wherever you are! The stream will be recorded for later viewing.
