It is important to know your fellow students. Studies give you an opportunity to make friends, form connections with working life and find your place in society. For example, the enthusiastic student body of Helsinki Vocational College and Adult Institute (Stadin AO) provides support and organises events and activities for students. You can also participate in student body activities yourself.
Learning communities of 150–200 students have been formed on Helsinki Vocational College and Adult Institute’s campuses. Each community is supervised by a pedagogical team of 6–8 people. The team members include teachers, guidance counsellors and other persons who provide teaching support. The team coaches students in self-directed learning.
Students also receive support from psychologists, welfare officers and school nurses.
