SIMHE-Metropolia´s next group guidance session in Helsinki
- Monday 23 November 2026 at 1 PM - 3.30 PM
Register here for the group career guidance
Place: Myllypuro Campus, Myllypurontie 1, 00920 Helsinki (The venue will be announced by email only to registered participants.)
Note: You are encouraged to use Finnish during the event, but you are welcome to join even if you do not speak Finnish well yet. The coaches speak clear and simple Finnish, and they can explain things in English if needed. The materials are available in English.
In group guidance sessions, you will receive peer support from others who are in a similar situation. You can discuss career opportunities, studying, learning Finnish, and job search. There is also dedicated time for job searching during the session – you even have time to send a job application on the spot! Each group session lasts 2.5 hours.
You can join and leave whenever you like, but we recommend arriving on time. At the beginning, shared information will be given to everyone, and at the end, there will be time for open discussion or to focus on your own job search.
Career Webinars open for everyone
Metropolia’s career coaches organise regular career webinars in English and Finnish, aimed at degree students. Everyone else is also welcome to take part. You can find upcoming webinars here: Career coaching and job search support | Student's Guide - Metropolia
