Our story

HAMK Career Services were initially developed based on the Talent Boost Programme in Finland , which is steered and coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland and the Ministry of Education and Culture. As the programme concludes at the end of 2024, HAMK will continue to offer career services beyond this period.
