Worklife Boom in January 2026
Registration for the 2026 event has ended. Registration will open in the fall of 2027.
Welcome to the annual event held in January!
The aim of Xamk’s Worklife Boom is to give visibility to companies and organizations operating in the campus cities and in the fields of education represented on the campuses, as well as to offer students opportunities to build connections with working life.
During the event, students freely visit company stands, allowing you to get to know each other in a low-threshold, informal way.
International students from all of our campuses are also warmly welcomed to the event, and communication with them will take place mainly in English.
