Talent Helsinki – Creating Networks and Collaborations
Has your company considered cooperation with a university or university of applied sciences, but you're not sure where to begin? Do you have English job, internship or project opportunities to which you could consider hiring international students?
Talent Helsinki event brings together companies and higher education institutions to find opportunities for cooperation.
