Become a partner!

Partnership means deeper, closer and more goal-oriented cooperation between a company and Raseko. The purpose of partnership is to discover synergy and create a win-win situation that benefits both parties.

Partnership gives the company the opportunity to become a part of Raseko’s education and structures. The company benefits from the partnership, for instance by reaching potential future employees through the institution. We work together with our partners to build diverse learning environments and projects where our students are involved.

Business collaboration starts off with everyday partnership and grows deeper with joint activities. Everyday partnership is carried out in practice as cooperation between a teacher and the workplace. The collaboration is usually related to the students’ training and apprenticeship periods.

Deeper, mutually beneficial collaboration is always established by a partnership agreement. The partnership agreement is essentially a statement of intent. Each partnership has a designated contact person who serves as the coordinator of the collaboration within Raseko and towards the company. The aim of the partnership is to strengthen the goals set by both parties.
