What is TEK?

TEK is a Finnish trade union for academic engineers, architects, computer scientists and STEM experts, as well as university students of these fields. 

In Finland, trade unions work closely with the employers’ organisations to ensure that the Finnish market is open, fair and competitive. On a personal level, this means that we negotiate the framework for employment conditions and salaries on your behalf, to make sure you have fair working conditions.

We are a professional organisation that supports you in your career. We provide legal advice, salary advice and career coaching to our members. By becoming a member, you will have access to our experts, who can advise you on any issues regarding your work life in Finland. 

Through our services, we will help you make informed choices in all aspects of your career, from how to get your foot in the market to navigating Finnish work life.
