CareerCraft – Career Reality & Awareness is a free interactive seminar for university students and young adults (18–29), especially for international students and those beginning their careers in Finland.

Program:

13:30 - Doors open
14:00 - Opening - The pieces of the puzzle ( A short intro to the 6-month journey, interactive q&a and a quick "meet your neighbour" icebreaker.)
14:30 Fails & Wins - with Lidiia Salo (A young professional who made it to Helsinki shares her biggest failures- and the lessons that turned them into wins. Interactive talk, not a lecture. Followed by a short break.)
15:45 Workshop- Expectation vs. Reality Matrix (In small groups, map your assumptions about job hunting, interviews, networking and Finnish work culture-then run them through the reality filter with our guests & facilitators)
16:45 Reflection Circle and Networking (Leave one fear or bias behind-say it in one word. Then stay for free-form networking before the event closes at 17:30)
