"As a campus guide, you learn to perform and react quickly to different situations."

Ellen Heikkilä, campus guide

Campus guides work under a guide coordinator who agrees and coordinates tours with visitors. New guides will be paid EUR 25 per tour for the first four tours, regardless of the type of tour. Subsequently, guides will be paid EUR 50 per guided tour. The duration of one campus tour is 1.5 hours, and it includes the following buildings:  Dipoli, Undergraduate Centre, Learning Centre, Väre and the School of Business. All guides will receive training and get an access to the video training material, general rules and good practices as well as the campus tour’s scripts. The campus tours are generally held on working hours and sometimes during evenings and weekends.

If you are interested in joining our team of campus guides, send a short video clip in English by 6 April (max. 5 minutes), presenting yourself and explaining why you would be a suitable candidate to be a campus tour guide. Candidates may be invited to do a 10 minute campus tour with a provided script 

Tranings will start in the end of April and actual guiding in the beginning of May.
