International students in cooperation

9000 new ideas – projects, work placements, theses and recruitment opportunities! Cooperation with students is diverse and can be tailored to your needs.

Cooperation with international students

HAMK has around a thousand international degree students, representing dozens of different nationalities. Companies and organisations can benefit from the professional expertise of HAMK’s international students, as well as from their language and cultural skills in the different stages of internationalisation and international activities. We are also involved in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment’s national Talent Boost programme, which promotes the attraction, immigration and integration of international talents in Finland.

As a nation, we must be able to find ways to expand our pool of young talent. We took up the excellent international skills pool offered by HAMK with an open mind and have not been disappointed.
Ville Laakso, chairman of the board, Papermark Oy

Work placement

You’ll gain extra resources, skills and new perspectives.

Thesis

Investigate or develop your business or explore new opportunities.

Recruitment

Summer worker, part-time worker or employee.

Project

Sector-specific student projects to meet your business needs. Popular projects include Market Entry surveys.

Tandem or Group placement

Through tandem placements, it is possible to try out multicultural cooperation and the multicultural skills of the work community with a lower threshold, and to grow a more diverse pool of potential employees in the company.

Group placements, on the other hand, allow you to make the most of international students from different disciplines. Group placements are a good option if your company needs a multidisciplinary team for a multidisciplinary project, for example.

In a tandem placement, international and Finnish students go on a placement together, in the same company.

Mentoring

As a mentor, you can support a student’s career development while developing your own language skills and cultural understanding. We will tailor an implementation to suit you.

Company visit

Invite international students to visit or meet them at HAMK.

Job shadowing

Let a student follow your work. Provide important experience for the student, raise the company’s image and lower the threshold for a potential employee.
