  Further information

  You can apply to complete the Organizational Activities 1, 2 and 3 courses by applying to
  become a trustee of a student association, student union or student organization. Each
  organization has its own application process, which usually starts in the fall semester
  around October-December. Associations inform about their recruitments via their own
  communication channels. Traditionally, positions such as board member, vice-chairperson or
  chairperson are applied for by using an application form and participating in general
  meetings and elections. The positions usually last one calendar year.
  
  When you have been selected for a specific position in the organization and you have
  worked actively in that position, at the end of the term you can apply for credits from the
  Organizational Activities 1, 2 and 3 courses. You can get a maximum of 15 credits. There is
  no registration for courses, but their completion is applied in a following way:
  
  1. Choose which course you want to complete by comparing the course's learning objectives
  with your own experience. You can complete several study courses at once, but in this case
  it must be well justified. Traditionally, one course can be completed per term, and at each
  level of the courses (1, 2 and 3), the demands of the tasks increase.
  
  2. When you have decided which course(s) you want to complete, you must fill out the
  application. Students can find the application form in the material bank of Helga's website
  (link: https://helga.fi/en/materials/ ). Fill out the application and send it by email to Helga's
  specialist of influencing and advocacy.
  
  3. The specialist checks the application and either accepts it or requests clarification or an
  addition to the application.
  
  4. When the specialist has approved the application, they forward it to Haaga-Helia's
  teacher/counselor, who adds the credits to the student

  Speed up your career course is delivered through mentoring. The mentoring process involves the student being assigned a personal mentor from an alumnus/alumna, i.e. a previous graduate of Haaga-Helia.

  ---

  Teaching methods and instruction

  The mentoring programme aims at the professional growth and the strengthening of professional relationships of the student (mentee).
  
  The value of mentoring lies in particular in the fact that the mentee is assigned a personal mentor (a Haaga-Helia alum) who guides and supports the mentee in challenges. Mentoring is about learning together, sharing experiences and knowledge through interaction.
  
  The mentee self defines the objectives for the process. The objectives may be related to career planning, finding a concrete internship or job, challenges in the working life or in the final phase of studies, self-development or deepening expertise.
  
  The mentoring programme consists of one-to-one mentoring meetings between mentor and mentee, joint group meetings and self-study materials in Moodle. In the kick off meeting, the objectives and ground rules of mentoring are discussed, a mentoring agreement is drawn up and interpersonal skills are developed.
  
  NOTE! The course is open to all degree students, regardless of campus, programme or orientation. Master students can enrol, but the credits are not included in the degree.

  Learning material and recommended literature

  Material is found in Moodle.
