We offer a variety of services to the School of Business students to support job hunting, employment, and career planning. On this page, you will find all our services that you can explore further and utilise during your studies!

Job Search skills

Throughout the academic year, we organise several training sessions where you learn how to present your skills in job applications. These sessions cover topics such as creating successful CVs and cover letters, succeeding in job interviews and case interviews, and standing out in your job search.

Additionally, you have the opportunity to receive personal job search and career guidance from the experts at the School of Business career and recruitment services for any job search or career-related questions.

Learn at your own pace! We offer information on job searches in our comprehensive job search guide, where you can find tips whenever you need them. Additionally, you can take open career courses whenever you have time.

Information about the working life

You can get accurate information about working life from the results of our career surveys, which you can view by major. In these surveys, we examine the employment of our alumni at different career stages: the types of jobs they have obtained and for which employers, how much salary they receive, and the skills they consider most important in the workplace. We also publish varied alumni stories from different sectors.

Career events and recruitment fairs

We organise several career events annually to support study planning and explore various career options. At these events, you can meet School of Business alumni and discuss employment and working life with them.

We also organise recruitment fairs and events where you can get to know employers in your field as well as alumni. At the fairs, you will be introduced to big employers in your field and can learn about their job opportunities.

Mentoring

Two different mentoring programmes are available annually for School of Business master's degree students.

The core of Aalto University's mentoring programme is monthly mentoring meetings between the mentor and mentee. You can apply for your own mentor when you are at the master's level in your studies.

Aalto International Talent is a group mentoring programme aimed at international students, where students get to know the mentoring companies and Finnish working life.

Career services team at the School of Business

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.

According to data collected from various surveys, our students are generally satisfied with our services, as evidenced by the global student satisfaction research conducted by Universum. We also receive good feedback from our placement survey from already graduated alumni.

In 2017, Aalto University's Student Union awarded the Seal of Approval to the School of Business career and recruitment services. This award is given at irregular intervals for practices that students consider good at Aalto University.
