Let us know you have graduated

We get information on recent graduates from the universities, but these lists do not always contain full information on all graduates, so we may not receive information about your graduation.

If you are a member and some time has passed since you graduated, but you have not received email from us, please inform our member service of your graduation by contacting our member service. 

Contact our member service

At TEK, our experts are here to help you in improving your job search skills, checking your employment contract, succeeding in salary negotiations or starting your own business. Please don't hesitate to contact us!

  • TEK’s lawyers, career coaches, salary advisors, and entrepreneurship experts are still at your service — you can easily reach them through OmaTEK.
  • You also have access to professional mental wellbeing support if work life feels overwhelming, without a referral or a Kanta record.
  • If you are employed, you are covered by TEK’s liability and legal insurance in case something happens at work. You can also join an unemployment fund through TEK.
  • You are welcome to network and get inspired at TEK’s events and online trainings, as well as through local associations and clubs.
  • You can take advantage of a wide range of benefits and discounts — for example, check out Danske Bank’s benefits for recent graduates.

Work conditions play a key role in whether we have the time, money, and energy for family, friends, hobbies, love, and life outside of work. Advocating for our members’ interests in collective bargaining is one of TEK’s most important tasks — the more members we have, the stronger the support for our negotiators.
