Objectives (course unit)

 Identifying and articulating one's own competence
 Searching for a place to learn on the job
 Light entrepreneurship
 Special features of Finnish working life
One of the main goals of the education is to give students such knowledge and skills that they will later be able to articulate and market their ever-changing skills, identify their development needs and look for a new job in new labor market situations. During this training, students recognize their previous skills in the career coaching course, develop their job search skills, build and shape their career path, and develop their professional networks. They also get to know different employment opportunities: paid work, entrepreneurship or a hybrid model. They identify and strengthen their strengths and develop their life management skills. Our important goal is to strengthen students' self-knowledge and professional self-confidence.
To support career coaching, students are given a Thomas International analysis. The Thomas analysis is a tool for coaching, well-being at work and work management, which maps a person's behavior, strengths and development needs, mirroring them to the needs of both the organization and the individual. The analysis helps the student to understand his strengths and limitations, motivational factors, initiative and communication style. The Thomas analysis also helps the student in choosing the right internship and work culture that suits him.
