Projects

OSAKO takes part in various projects every year. These project revolve around topics such as studies, education, sustainable development and well-being. Projects are a big part of the work of student union, but unfortunately all the effort made for them usually happens “behind the scenes” and thus remains invisible. In this page you can find more information about these projects.

OTE - Students as developers of employment-promoting practices alongside the staff of universities of applied sciences

Schedule:

The main implementer of the project is Turku University of Applied Sciences. The co-implementers of the project are Diaconia University of Applied Sciences, LAB University of Applied Sciences, Oulu University of Applied Sciences and Savonia University of Applied Sciences.

Description:

The aim of the OTE project (2019–2021) is to boost the employment of students through cooperation between student unions and universities of applied sciences. Ways to achieve this goal include job search clinics related to multi-channel job search, supporting entrepreneurship through cooperative activities, and labeling the skills of working life. All activities take place through joint development, which means the students themselves are involved in planning and implementing the project’s measures to promote employment.
