As a member of our chamber, you have the opportunity to acquire a wide range of skills that are beneficial in the workplace through various training programs. These training opportunities are available at the local chamber level, nationally during conference weekends, and even internationally.
JCI Finland has developed training programs to support the development of various skills, including the traditional JCI focus areas of public speaking and debating. The knowledge and skills gained from JCI Finland’s training offerings are widely applicable in professional life as well. Additionally, JCI Oulu has developed specific training programs, such as the Quality Project Management (QPM) course, which focuses on high-quality project management. Our members also deliver high-level training sessions to fellow members each year. Topics have included remote leadership, time management, internationalization, and wellness-related themes.
Training and serving as a trainer are excellent ways to network and learn from participants through discussion. Growth and development as a trainer within JCI occur through participating in the Trainer Path programs and leading various training sessions.
