The role of companies in the HelsinkiUNI International Talent programme:
- The company gets to choose students to its mentoring group. The size of the group is 5-8 students.
- The company representative participates in the kick-off and closing events.
- The company commits to organizing 3 -5 meet-ups during the programme. Themes for the meet-ups can include a company presentation, the latest trends in the field and current competency requirements. Getting to know the students and discovering their potential is an important theme.
- When the programme is finished, companies are very welcome but not obliged to continue cooperating with the students.
The planned schedule for the programme is described below. Of course, we will follow the coronavirus situation and this may lead to changes in the plan.
