Thinking about settling down in Turku after graduation? During the Student Forum you have the chance to meet and share ideas with people from the local municipality and other people who can help make that happen. Join students and experts from across Turku's higher education institutions for an afternoon of conversation on local life and what it takes to break into the job market.

Hear how other students and cities have tackled similar questions, meet the City of Turku team working on newcomer support, and get the inside scoop on what local companies look for in international hires - all over good food.
