Voucher Information for Employers

Talent Boost Voucher for International Students
(Information to Employers)

The Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics and Law offers the possibility for international students to get funding for an internship in Finland. The aim is to give our non-Finnish students work experience within their field and create professional
networks in Finland, which is the one of the main targets of the Talent Boost Program.

  • International students at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics and Law (FSEJ) at Åbo Akademi University can gain a scholarship for relevant work experience (an internship period). The time of the internship period is a maximum of 3 months.
  • The Scholarship is 1000 €/month (max 3 months fulltime). Possibility of doing a part-time internship can be discussed with the contact person of the master program.
  • Åbo Akademi University pays a scholarship to the student.
  • The employer assigns a supervisor for the intern.
  • A contract is made between employer, student, and master program.
  • The intern has an Accident Insurance from Åbo Akademi University. The insurance covers accidents in practical learning activity related to the degree pursued at ÅAU. For more information please contact the student service desk: studinfo@abo.fi
  • Tasks should be relevant to studies, the head of master programs can give more information.
  • Note that there is a difference between the ÅAU partly funded internship program and this Talent Boost program at FSEJ (within the ÅAU partly funded internship program).
