Hidden jobs spark interest – here’s how TEK members have succeeded at it

Hidden job hunting is very relevant. Work life is changing rapidly, there is uncertainty in the labour market, and competition for open positions is fierce. Traditional job-seeking methods do not always yield the desired results; moreover, jobseekers are expected to show initiative and the ability to identify opportunities even where they are not yet visibly on offer. In response to this, TEK offers its members a popular online course.

The new polyteekkari flag finally raised in Otaniemi

The 15-year wait of the Otaniemi teekkari community was rewarded in early November, when the community ceremonially introduced the new polyteekkari flag at the 153rd Teekkari Tradition Ball. The previous flag that had united the teekkaris of Otaniemi was the flag of the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology, which served the community from 1909 to 2009 and was laid to its well-earned rest with the founding of the Aalto University Student Union. This is how the new flag came into being.

Finland's economy and security of supply rely on foreign experts

"There is a growing need for immigrants and foreign skilled workers. The technology industry plays a key role in, for example, the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. These fields are already dependent on international experts. When the economy turns upward, this shortage of skilled workers will only deepen," write TEK's Owain Hopeaketo and Barona's Elina Santalahti in today's Vieraskynä in Helsingin Sanomat.
