Tampere University and Yrityspäivät Job Fair strengthen collaboration to support student employment
The annual Yrityspäivät Job Fair brings together more than a hundred companies and organisations and thousands of students on Tampere University’s campuses. The event is organised by the Tampere Association for Student Employment Support (Finnish: Tampereen opiskelijarekrytoinnin tuki ry) in collaboration with a new team of students each year. Tampere University serves as the official event partner.
Closer collaboration between the University and the organisers will not only increase the visibility of the fair but also improve the experience for both students and employers. By combining the organisers’ extensive employer network with the University’s insight into students’ areas of expertise, the partnership will help employers connect with future talent and support students in building their career paths.
“The Job Fair is an outstanding example of our students’ capabilities. Since the 1990s, the event has been organised each year by a new team of students. Close collaboration with Yrityspäivät is important to Tampere University because the fair plays a significant role in showcasing our students’ expertise and supporting their transition into employment,” says Antti Lönnqvist, Vice President of Tampere University.
Promoting the employment of international students at Tampere University
The event will also include employer-focused content, networking opportunities and communications that specifically highlight the expertise of international students and the opportunities for recruiting international talent. Communications about the Job Fair are available in both Finnish and English to ensure that international students can also access information about the event.
“We want students to find it easy to connect with potential employers and companies to gain a clear understanding of the expertise that students can offer. Together, we can further develop the event content and communications to ensure that the encounters on campus open up even more opportunities for students to find internships, thesis projects and employment,” says Laura Sammalisto, Project Manager of Yrityspäivät.
