Real-life cases make studying more motivational, teach general working skills, and help students to create networks with potential employers. Participating companies get to have the latest information and knowledge from LUT and LAB throughout this program and a good chance to get to know universities future talents.

“It was really important for us to join the Future Talents Lahti project, because we’ve had a really big skills shortage, like many other automation companies. We got involved to make Lahti City, LUT, and LAB a more attractive place for good talent to come to. Through this program, we can find great talent for our company.” says Johanna Vuopala, CEO of Makron Group.
