TAMK Student's Handbook

Career services

One of the most important tasks of TAMK Career Services is to help you to find your place in working life after graduating. We help and guide you with e.g. planning your career and everything related to searching jobs and internships. You can participate in our group trainings and workshops, personal career counseling or come and ask for our tips for your CV.

Trainings and workshops

Every year in January, we organize a three-day-long Career Week event. During this event TAMK students can participate in many workshops and lectures supporting career planning and job search. The events are held by experts representing employers and working life related projects, and TAMK's own career counselors and other lecturers. The schedule of Career Week is published on December, a month before the week starts. 

As a student you can also participate in Job Search Clinic held every other Thursday at TAMK's Parvi space (main campus, B1-28) where you can come and do your own independent job search or ask for comments on your job search documents. In addition to workshops and events organized by Career Services, we share information on all career events that are relevant to our students and are cost-free. Follow current information on all following career events on JobTeaser's event page

Also, degree programs can ask us to keep a training with chosen topic for a specific student group.

Personal career counseling

You can also book a time for personal career counseling, where you receive help with the issue that helps you forward on your own career path. The counseling is held on TAMK main campus or online via Teams, according to your wishes. Career counseling can be 60 or 30 minutes long and include themes such as:

  • Creating a great CV and cover letter
  • Using LinkedIn in job search
  • Acknowledging and describing your skill-set and strengths
  • Searching for hidden jobs
  • Professional branding
  • Studying future career paths

Book a suitable time for personal career counseling via JobTeaser: tamk.jobteaser.com/en > Appointments.
