Jamk Talent Boost for Students and Graduates
What is Talent Boost?
Talent Boost aims to improve the opportunities of Jamk’s international students in finding internship or employment in Central Finland. We are hoping
- to improve students' awareness about the job market and provide information on recruitment
- improve Finnish language learning possibilities
- strengthen collaboration with businesses and organizations to rise the number of Jamk graduates that get employed
The main objective is strengthening the links between foreign students and graduates and working life in such a way that their opportunities can be considered equally positive in comparison to local Finnish students.

The international job seekers (students) visit several municipalities in Central Finland. The supervised bus trip takes 5-10h. During the trip students visit different locations of interest, companies and events which are supposed to help them with the potential employment, re-location to the municipality and integration into Finland.
