A practical way
forward.
Finnish vocational education combines professional theory with practical learning. You do not only study a profession you practise it in classrooms, workshops and real workplaces.
For international students, it can also be a way to build a network, understand Finnish working culture and use Finnish in everyday situations. MOIKKA Plus helps you connect the pieces: language, school, relocation and the next step.
