1. Business Mentoring Model

In the Business Mentoring Model developed by the IMIB network, small teams of international talents work together on assignments defined by a company. During the three-month period, you will work in a team of 3–4 participants, supported by career coaches from Haaga-Helia and Metropolia UAS. The workload is approximately 50 hours/participant. 

At the end of the working period, the teams present the results of their work to the companies and learn about possible opportunities to get internships, summer jobs, topics for a commissioned thesis or other work. 

This can help you to gain valuable experience by working on real company assignments and to build your professional network with Finnish companies.

We are now looking for international talents to join us for our next project cycle in spring 2025! Interested? Register with the link below or ask more via email: [email protected]
