The application period for the pilot of HelsinkiUNI International Talent Programme (HITP) has officially opened! We are eager to welcome our very first cohort of organizational mentors and student mentees! 

Student applications are open from 16.09 – 06.10.2020. Please read the Apply page for detailed instructions.  

Why apply? 

HITP is aimed at giving international students information 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, student 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.  

Whether you have just begun your studies or are writing your thesis, HITP offers great opportunities from gaining resources and potential topics for your thesis to gaining knowledge and connections for entering the job market!
