"For the fifth year in a row, Kemira has participated in Aalto University’s International Talents mentoring and networking program. Throughout the journey, the students learned about Kemira as a company, experienced our working culture, and met experts across various functions and business units. They also explored potential career paths and received practical guidance on job applications and career development from our People&Culture team. For Kemira, mentoring offers a valuable opportunity to present our career paths, strengthen our position as an employer of choice, and build meaningful connections between international talents and our experts."

"It's incredibly valuable to understand the students' perspectives. Their feedback gives us insight into how students view the industry and highlights areas where improvement is needed. I appreciate that each group has flexibility in designing their format. While this does place responsibility on the groups, and especially on the companies, I believe that's beneficial, as it requires companies to fully engage and commit!"
