Our why, how, what and more.
The Shortcut is the place for meaningful professional integration and career transformation in Finland. We support our community through upskilling and reskilling programs, events, career coaching, and our talent community.
We are here to be the springboard for your startup or business venture. We offer entrepreneurship programs to help you start your own business (BYOB, Spark Academy) and bring your business idea to life. Our events offer additional tips and ideas for growing your own company from scratch.
Companies need people with diverse skill sets and backgrounds to bring growth — that means we need talent with experience in human resources, sales, product development, digital marketing, etc. At The Shortcut, we strive to encourage people to not only enhance their skills but to transfer and update their skills, and to give them a chance to re-invent their careers; so you’re more than welcome to join our events regardless of background! Take a look at our current events to see if anything sparks your interest.
We post updates about upcoming events and programs on our social media channels – but you can stay more easily updated about everything that’s going on at The Shortcut by subscribing to our newsletter.
