A STUDY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL GRADUATES

I am contacting you concerning a study on employment of international graduates. I am a doctoral student at Tampere University and also the director of international activities at Laurea University of Applied Sciences and the topic of my thesis is "Employment of International Graduates from Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences". I have already analysed statistics on this topic, and now I would like to interview some graduates to get a deeper understanding of the topic. Would be interested in participating in an interview?

The topic would be your experiences of employment in Finland or abroad after graduation and how the studies at a university of applied sciences have influenced your employment. The interviews could take place either in Laurea Tikkurila or any place that would be convenient for you. If you are currently not in Finland the interview could be completed e.g. by phone, email or Skype. The length of the interview would be about an hour, and the timing would naturally be up to you. If you would be willing to participate, please let me know by THE END OF FEBRUARY 2010 by mail or phone when would be a good time for you, and we could make an appointment. Your experiences are valuable!

Looking forward to hearing from you,
with best regards

CORRECTIONS TO THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALUMNI CARD

Before the summer holidays Metropolia alumnit registered association launched member card of which you can download to your mobile phone.

Then it was wrongly said, that one Alumni Card would be available to the members of the Alumni Network and to the members of the association. We apologize for the mistake! Alumni who join the Alumni Network and those who join the association WILL get an Alumni Card, but cards from different "levels".

The basic level with a WHITE Alumni Card is meant for all alumni who join the Alumni Network (without any costs) and benefits to that card are coming in the near future. The higher level card is a BLACK one, and meant ONLY for those who join the Metropolia alumnit registered association. Membership benefits negotiated by the association are available only with this black card. Also all the benefits in the Wire Pocket -pages are available with the black card. Black card naturally entitles for the benefits of the white card.

After an alumnus joins the Alumni Network or the association he/she will receive an email with the exact instructions on how to download the Alumni Card.
