We are happy to announce that Metsä Group has joined the group of HITP mentors! Metsä Group is especially reaching out to students from the Data and Computer Science Programmes as well as the Intercultural Encounters Programme, as they wish to focus on two main themes: ICT-work and DEI (Diversity, Equality and Inclusion).
Because Metsä Group joined the programme during the application process, it may affect the choice of mentor that applicants have already made. Don’t worry, you can change your mind! If you want to change mentor, this is what to do:

HITP is aimed at giving information to international talents about a certain industry or field in Finland. Through a series of group meetings hosted by organizational mentors and career management workshops held by Career Services, mentees will learn about Finnish working life, from the specifics of how to enter field of interest to the practicalities of finding a job in Finland.

From gaining resources and potential topics for your thesis, to gaining knowledge and connections for entering the job market, HITP will support your academic education by providing you with helpful tools for developing your career skills. Please note that HITP is a group mentoring programme, not a traineeship programme.
