Growth and development
Free studies at our Open University
Our work community members can study free of charge at our own Open University. When you come to work for us, you will have almost endless options for learning, whether you want to deepen your current skills or move into completely new areas.
Our open university is the largest and most popular in Finland. Its diverse offering allows you to choose individual courses or extensive study modules for your program, depending on your needs.
We are committed to providing a sustainable career
Our goal is to provide everyone who works for us with the conditions for a humane, sustainable, and meaningful career. In your annual goal discussion with your supervisor, you can express your wishes regarding your professional development. We want everyone at JYU to be able to do meaningful work in a safe and encouraging work environment where it is genuinely possible to balance work and other aspects of life. We believe that wellbeing and competence go hand in hand. When people feel well, they also learn, discover, innovate, and they experience joy in their work.
