Professional education in Finland

Professional education in Finland.
A unique model of individual learning paths

Speaker — Lotta Sjöblom

May, 14 / ZOOM / 13:00 – CET

About the webinar

We will start with the Finish educational system and how the professional education comes in. Then continue a bit with the structure of the professional education, the professional education reform from 2018 and what that means in practice including personal plans and paths, on the job learning and skills demonstration and evaluation. We will try to keep the student view during the presentation as that's the key to the new system and use examples from Prakticum to demonstrate one way of how it can be done
