Development Project:
Työrasti Competency Center Espoo:
Työrasti Espoo was a development project owned by the city of Espoo to improve the unemployed customers’ competences and working life skills. I researched for Työrasti Espoo as my thesis work. The goal of this project is to research possibilities and create service models/service design about the future to downsize the number of unemployed people in Espoo region.
In this project, target group is people who are immigrants, through this project we provided them up dated information and technical help to be self-employed or establish own business in Espoo region. Immigrants especially who were young and self-motivated were our main target group. Our aim was to provide them proper guidance, so that they can be more useful member of the society.
We observed that immigrants played an integral role in some other European countries where many immigrants arrived few decades back and they emerged very well, most of them have their own businesses or self-employed. As a researcher my tasks included meeting with customers/unemployed persons, listening to their stories, reasons for their unemployment, and finding out solutions together with them.
Teachers own research in their own field of specialization is important. Research, development, and innovation help teachers own professional development which later help them to contribute to enhancing learning environment in general. Teachers must be adaptive, because of the challenging and ever-changing nature of the teaching they do every day. It’s important for a teacher to make proper time division in teaching and research.
I am studying master’s Program, Education for Sustainable Development at University of Gothenburg, Sweden, this degree program is continuation of my education and further education, it will enhance my knowledge and skills, this education is research based and knowledge gained will help me in teaching. Further education feed mind with new concepts and then implemented in practical teaching.
