Since 1991, the School of Business career and recruitment services have functioned as a bridge between the School of Business students and the employers who hire them.
We belong to the same unit as the School of Business Corporate Relations and Alumni Relations and work closely with Aalto University Career Design Lab. We also collaborate with many other partners within Aalto University as well as nationally (e.g. the Aarresaari network for Finnish universities' career and employment services) and internationally. In addition to serving students, we also cater to employers by providing information and statistics on the employment of our graduates.
