Creating depth and method into co-operation with working life
CLOSE AND WORKING RELATIONS
VAMK’s personnel have long-term and working relations with actors in working life in the area. In the new way of working, teachers can participate in meetings with working life representatives. We want to give all teachers an easy way to create networks; to hear straight from the representatives to which direction the working life is going, and to think how to bring the needs of working life into our education in a concrete way.
CO-OPERATION AGREEMENTS
We have signed agreements with strategically important partners. You can take a closer look at the presentations of the partners, contents of the agreements and meeting memos here.
ANNUAL PLANNING CYCLE AND PERSONS IN CHARGE
To create method in the co-operation, we have drawn up a year clock an annual planning cycle to which we compiled the functions and events of the year. We have appointed expert persons- in- charge from both parties for relevant areas. The task of the persons-in-charge is to maintain active dialogue with the party to agreement, take care of the implementation of the co-operation and to act as a contact within the organization.
ADVISORY COMMITTEES
In addition to the agreements, we act in advisory committees, which bring together companies operating in the same field and higher education institutions providing education in these fields. Such committees operate in Health Care and Social Services, Business Information Technology and Technology and Communication.
Continuous learning
expanding and intensifying the supply of education As the working life changes quickly and unpredictably, people in the various points of their career have a need to improve and update their competencies. We want to be part of this. Marianne Laurila, our expert in continuous learning, will start on 1 November and will focus on developing a model for continuous learning and supply of education together with various parties.

Future research platforms bring together ideas and experts
On 23 October, we will have a workshop on the themes of research platforms to be developed. Besides Muova, Directors of Unit, Principal Lecturers and Senior Lecturers form various fields have participated in brainstorming. The research platforms will be built to be multi-field and wide-ranging so that as many as possible can participate in activities taking place on the platforms. The objective is that the platforms are ready to start at the beginning of next year.
