Social Sciences Career Fair - VTM Fair

6.11.2025

Think Corner & University of Helsinki Main Building

Are you a social sciences student unsure about your career options? Interested in what your future working life might look like? At the Social Sciences Career Fair, VTM Fair, you’ll find out!

The VTM Fair is a career event designed primarily for social sciences students, where graduates from the field share insights about career opportunities and their own career paths. The goal of the event is to bring together students from the social sciences and employers from various sectors, including administration, communications, research, economics, NGOs, consulting, and public affairs. In addition to a program of talks, the fair will also feature exhibitors from different organizations who can provide tips on, for example, job seeking, as well as a workshop.

The next fair will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Think Corner and the University of Helsinki Main Building.
