Corporate Relations

For many of us, career is an integral part of our lives already as students. Summer jobs and internships offer experience that is worth gold. Therefore, KY wants to boost your career! KY is dedicated to show you the best career opportunities and to help you land your dream job.

Every one of us pursues the best possible career. However, many of us don’t yet know what we want from our career or what paths we should choose to reach our goals. KY wants to help its members to answer these puzzling questions. KY’s Corporate Relations sector consists of three members of the KY Office and KY’s Corporate Relations Committee CORE. My name is Akseli Manninen and I’m responsible for corporate relations at the KY Board. I work alongside two sales coordinators Eemeli Paunonen and Daniel Harper Kakkonen. We are here to help you land your dream job! Our mission is to bring companies and students together in a manner that benefits both. We offer students a lot - Firstly, students get to know what companies are the most interested in us. Secondly, students learn what companies are beneath the surface. Thirdly, students can network with companies’ representatives and have an advantage when applying for jobs. Companies, in turn, get to know and attract KY’s brightest talents. KY has many kinds of ways for companies to be involved in students’ lives. We especially emphasise face to face encounters between students and companies, which are facilitated during e.g. CORE’s events and excursions. Companies are also present on our dollar green overalls, social media and print media. In addition, the finest events of KY wouldn’t be possible without the support of our partners. So, what industries do KY’s members typically work in? First of all, the School of Business grants us an amazing academic education which is suitable for a vast variety of jobs, and our skills are needed in every company. Having said that, the three most common fields where KY’s members get employed are consulting 32%, financial industry 18% and ICT 16%. Remember that it’s never too early to get hands-on experience on working life! Don’t forget to join the exclusive KY Career groups on Facebook and LinkedIn. This way, you will get an edge on your career by hearing about the best opportunities!
