Arcada offers students the following support:

Accessibility promotes equality. Digital accessibility means that digital services must be designed so that they take into account people's differences. Anyone should be able to use webservices and their content without difficulty. You as a student are also covered by the directive. Here we have compiled the most important things you need to know to know about acceibility. The EU Accessibility Directive and the new national law on digital accessibility entered into force in September 2020. 

Are you interested in meeting someone who is established in Finnish society? Would you like to practice Finnish or Swedish? Do you need support in your job search? Do you want to share your own experiences and create something new?

If so, maybe Luckan Integration's FIKA mentoring & networking is something for you!

Career Monitoring Survey is the national survey sent out to those who have graduated from a Finnish university of applied sciences five years ago. It contributes 3% of the national funding for UASs and contains questions on how well the education prepares the graduate for the needs in working life. The UAS Journal theme in December 2020 is the use of data from the Career Monitoring Survey in e.g. the development of degree programmes, service design for working life and alumni, continuous learning, Master’s degrees, integration and guidance.

The event offers a visibility platform for talents and employers alike to connect and network. Information about the abundant support available for reaching potential employers and proceeding to job landing is made available for talents. Examples of concrete benefits:
