Are you dreaming of a new career? Our project will help you with your job hunt.

In My Way 2 -project we organize coaching and workshops that promote holistic well-being and job search skills. In addition, we organize meetings between employees and employers.

The coaching strengthens participants resources and self-esteem through positive psychology and help reflect on one's own skills. In the workshops participants can get excited about new opportunities and gain new skills for example on style, interaction and networking skills, as well as marketing, sales, and finance skills.

Who can participate? People:
• seeking new opportunities and job’s in the southern part of Northern Ostrobothnia
• with a higher education or upper secondary education degree
• who have been unemployed for less than a year
• at risk of unemployment
• in the final stages of their studies
• returning from family leave to work
• planning on career changing

So, whether you are just starting work or have a new career in your dreams, you will get tools from our services for the future!

Some of the activities our project provides for you in English

Career coaching and job search coaching for individuals or groups:
In career coaching and job search coaching, the participant receives support from the coach for job search challenges. The coaching reviews the participant's needs, eg job planning documents and channels, suitable jobs or training opportunities, according to the participant's needs. The coach is Paula Oja.

In Mapping and developing your own competences coaching the participant's skills are mapped together with the coach and personal goals for the future career are considered with the help of the Business Model You -tool. The tool provides a starting point for seeing participant's own competence more broadly than just through a job title. Working life is in a strong transition and we must be able to apply our skills in a creative way in the labor market. We need to be able to find new ways to employ ourselves and update our skills according to new needs in changing working life. When focusing at skills and possibilities, and not just job titles, we can identify new job opportunities with out skillsets in different fields. The coach is Johanna Hautamäki.

You can find info on our scheduled coaching and workshops here. The events are listed with the language the coach is using.
