Summer job opportunities have been declining for years – TEK appeals to employers: “Let’s work together and make next summer better than the last”
The number of students in the field of technology who were left without a summer job last year was twice that of the summer of 2023. TEK is urging employers in the technology industry to have the courage to employ young people. TEK also offers them an opportunity to advertise their summer jobs in the TEKrekry LinkedIn group, which is moderated by TEK, free of charge. “Let’s work together and make next summer better than the last,” encourages TEK’s Labour Market Director Teemu Hankamäki.
