Calling all Aalto alumni in the capital region!

The Aalto Alumni & Student Friendship Programme matches alumni with international students for informal friendships, cultural exchange and new perspectives. Grab a coffee, visit a museum or show an international student what a Finnish autumn looks like, all in your own way.

We suggest 2–4 meetups during the academic year, but even a single coffee makes a difference. You don't need to be a native Finnish speaker, just curious and open to new connections.

Kick-off: The First Hello event on 27 October at 17:00–18:30 in Otaniemi

Register by 2 October.

More information:

The programme pairs international students with local alumni to spark connections, ease culture shock, and support everyday life in Finland.

Alumni Voices | Mitä mentori voi oppia opiskelijoilta?

Opiskelijoiden kysymykset voivat haastaa kokeneenkin asiantuntijan tarkastelemaan tuttuja asioita uudesta näkökulmasta.

Matti Aksela on ollut mukana Aalto International Talent -ohjelmassa jo usean vuoden ajan. Outokummun mentorointiryhmän vetäjänä hän on auttanut kansainvälisiä opiskelijoita tutustumaan suomalaiseen työelämään.

”Saan jatkuvasti uusia näkökulmia keskusteluista opiskelijoiden kanssa. He kysyvät kysymyksiä, joita en olisi osannut edes odottaa. Mikäpä pistäisi ajattelemaan ja oppimaan sen tehokkaammin!”

Outokummun mentorointiryhmässä keskusteltiin muun muassa työnhausta, rekrytoinneista, tekoälystä, datatieteestä ja alan uranäkymistä. Matin mukaan työelämässä pidempään olleilla on usein enemmän annettavaa opiskelijoille kuin he itse tulevat ajatelleeksi.

”Suosittelen osallistumista kaikille yrityksille.”

Lue Matin ja opiskelijoiden kokemuksista:
🔗 www.aalto.fi/fi/uutiset/aalto-international-talent-ohjelman-mentori-matti-aksela-suosittelen-osallistumista-kaikille

Seuraavaan Aalto International Talent -ohjelmaan etsitään nyt mukaan uusia Suomessa toimivia työnantajia. Jos organisaatiosi haluaa tutustua kansainvälisiin osaajiin ja kehittää monimuotoista työyhteisöä, tutustu ohjelmaan ja ilmoittaudu mukaan 15.9.2026 mennessä:
🔗 www.aalto.fi/fi/career-design-lab/aalto-international-talent-ohjelma

Ohjelman kautta yritys voi matalalla kynnyksellä tutustua kansainvälisiin osaajiin ja kehittää monimuotoista työyhteisöä.
