One of these was <strong>MIOPIA<\/strong>, a side event of <strong>SOHJO<\/strong>, an influential business and technology event held in Joensuu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SOHJO 2025, held on <strong>March 14, 2025<\/strong>, was an exciting gathering of ICT professionals, creative industry experts, regional developers, and visionary entrepreneurs. The event tackled the intersection of <strong>technology, business, and innovation<\/strong>, offering keynote speeches, expert panel discussions, and hands-on workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About MIOPIA 2025: A Bridge between Technology, Business, and Students<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>March 12, 2025<\/strong>, just before SOHJO, the <strong>MIOPIA event<\/strong> was held in <strong>Metria UEF<\/strong> in Joensuu as an official SOHJO side event. Unlike the larger SOHJO conference, MIOPIA focused specifically on three key themes: <strong>Technology, Digital Customers, and Students<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1302\" height=\"1065\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"Two persons presenting slides\" class=\"wp-image-3416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture1.jpg 1302w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture1-768x628.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1302px) 100vw, 1302px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>MIOPIA served as a crucial meeting point for <strong>ICT professionals, startups, retail industry leaders, and students<\/strong>, strengthening Joensuu\u2019s position as a growing digital and innovation hub. The event featured a <strong>company stand area<\/strong>, where businesses connected directly with students and recent graduates. It offered potential career opportunities and insights into emerging digital trends. Additionally, a <strong>networking session<\/strong> provided a space for companies to engage with local and international talents, which emphasized the importance of a <strong>skilled, diverse workforce<\/strong> for regional growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the MIOPIA program, Project Coordinator Veikko Miettinen<strong> and I had the opportunity to give a talk<\/strong>, where we shared our experiences in Cultural Knowledge and Digital Skills in Globalizing Working Life (CUDIS) project (ESF+). During our talk, we highlighted the importance of <strong>interdisciplinary collaboration<\/strong> in today\u2019s job market and how CUDIS equips students and job seekers with both <strong>technical and cultural skills<\/strong> to navigate the evolving workplace. We also spoke about my time at <strong>Arbonaut<\/strong>, a company that played a pivotal role in expanding my professional network. My experience at Arbonaut connected me with more people in the field, providing me with valuable opportunities and insights into the job market. Networking has proven to be a key element in successfully finding a job in Finland, and my time at Arbonaut highlighted the significance of making those connections to advance in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By participating in MIOPIA, I gained deeper insights into the role of <strong>digital transformation, customer engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration<\/strong> in modern business. These events reinforced the importance of bridging the gap between students and companies, ensuring that future professionals are equipped with the skills and networks needed for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"941\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"A man presenting a slide show\" class=\"wp-image-3417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture2.png 1020w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture2-768x709.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sharing My Experience in the Digital and International Skills Development Service<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also had the chance to give a talk and share my experience in the CUDIS program at the opening session of the Digital and International Skills Development Service, which is planned to run from March 17 to May 30, 2025. Being involved in this program last spring, I felt I had made the right decision, and I truly got what I hoped for out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1430\" height=\"804\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture3.jpg 1430w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/Picture3-992x558.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1430px) 100vw, 1430px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, I spoke to new students who are about to embark on the course, sharing with them how impactful the program can be in building rapport with professionals and how it can open doors for future career opportunities. The program emphasizes the importance of networking, offering students hands-on experience and exposure to real-world business environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Digital and International Skills Development Service specifically focuses on students from both humanities and computer science fields; it creates a diverse, interdisciplinary approach. This combination has added immense value to the program, bringing together students from varied backgrounds to collaborate and exchange knowledge. It\u2019s an opportunity to not only enhance your skills but also build connections that can help pave the way for a successful career in a globalized world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking Ahead: Join the Journey of Growth and Connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As I reflect on my experiences in both the Digital and International Skills Development Service and related events like MIOPIA, I am excited about the opportunities they offer for students, recent graduates, and businesses alike. These initiatives are not just about learning; they are about growing, networking, and building bridges between academic knowledge and real-world application.<br>\u00a0<br>If you\u2019re looking to connect with professionals, gain hands-on experience, or shape the future of your career, I highly encourage you to get involved in these programs. Whether you&#8217;re a student, recent graduate, or jobseeker, these experiences can make a significant impact on your journey. The future of work is interdisciplinary, digital, and global\u2014so take the opportunity to be part of it.
