Joonas – When the profession feels like the right choice

Joonas Kujansuu is still looking at his Promeco career from the beginning of the journey. “I’ve worked at Promeco regularly for almost 5 years, but the first years I worked through a staffing platform.” Joonas thinks it was a good choice to work alongside his studies because like that he was able to do his internships simultaneously. Otherwise, he would have had to apply for them separately.

Weronika – Live in such a way that no one cries because of you – live honestly

At first Weronika came to Promeco as an assembler’s helper. She learned quickly so she fast became an assembler. “I was already working independently, and when I returned to work in 2019, I was given the duties of an electrician. Now I am training to become a quality inspector.” Weronica is now very sure today that this is her place to work.

Juha – If possible, learn something new

The future is not always clear. That’s why you should always ponder what you want to do for living, what kinds of things interest you. This has been a good mantra for Juha “Kamppi” Kamppikoski, switchgear installer at Promeco. He has a 15-year career behind him, and the versatility of his work has been a richness.

Minna – Final growth takes place at work

She would have gotten to both schools. The mechanical engineering side however won and took over. Minna nodded with satisfaction as she knew it was the right choice for her.
