“I graduated with a master’s degree in chemistry and worked in the industry for five years before I started Saranen’s training programme. When I started working, I soon realised that working in a laboratory was not for me and I found myself hoping to work with computers. I started to practise coding on my own, but then I came across the Mimmit koodaa (“Women code”) recruitment training while scrolling though social media. At first, I thought I wouldn’t have the necessary skills to get accepted to the programme. Fortunately, I still took the opportunity; attending the training programme has been the best choice I’ve made in my career so far,” Sini says.
Recruitment training programme – a quick way to change fields
Sini was pleasantly surprised by the straightforward and efficient application process of the Mimmit koodaa recruitment training. The submission of the application was followed by an efficient round of interviews, after which Sini was offered a place in the training programme.
“Applying for the Mimmit koodaa recruitment training was very quick and effortless compared to more traditional job application processes. When I was applying for the programme, I was not expected at any stage of the process to be an expert; instead, my willingness to learn new things was the most important factor. Through recruitment training, I obtained a permanent job and, above all, the opportunity to build a career that reflects me in my dream industry,” Sini explains.

Nelson Makubuya Ntege came from Uganda to Finland to study information technology. After graduation, finding permanent employment turned out to be more challenging than anticipated for Nelson, who mainly had fixed-term employment relationships. Nelson found a new boost for his career through Saranen’s recruitment training programme that offered the brand-new specialist an opportunity to expand his competence.
“I saw an advertisement for recruitment training on the TE Services website and decided to apply for the training because the programme was aimed at unemployed or recently graduated programming professionals. After graduation, I had only worked fixed-term jobs, and so I hoped this would lead to permanent employment in the industry, In recruitment training, I had the opportunity to learn to utilise new technologies and develop my skills so that I became an even more attractive IT expert in the labour market,” Nelson says.
