International opportunities for students

Stadin AO, Helsinki Vocational College, has a long history of collaborating with other vocational institutes across Europe and elsewhere in the world.

As a student you have the opportunity to go abroad on an on-the-job training period with Erasmus+ funding. Usually the training periods last for a few months. In order to go abroad for a training period, you need to fulfill the following requirements:

  • You need to be 18 years old
  • Your studies have progressed well
  • You have completed at least one on-the-job training period in Finland.

In addition to on-the-job training periods abroad, you can also co-operate with students abroad in the current international Erasmus+ projects.

Internationalisation at home

Stadin AO offers also a lot of possibilities to acquire international competence at home. You can get to co-operate with international students in the following ways:

  • As an international tutor you can co-operate with international students at Stadin AO.
  • Many work places in which you can do an on-the-job learning period have an international working community. In such places, you can also complete a study unit that concentrates on working skills in an international environment.
  • We have virtual co-operation projects with teachers and students from various European partner colleges.
