Peliosuuskunta Expa Intern Introduction

Niina Intern

Greetings, denizens of DGC! I’m Niina (they/them) and I started my 2-month trainee period with Expa on Monday. I’m a 1st-year student of Business Administration at Gradia, focusing on financial management (accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, etc.). During this period I’m doing my competence demonstration in Customer Service.

 

A short history of who I am: I’ve volunteered and worked in and around the game industry for several years, been a lifetime gamer, and a chronic MMO-holic for way too many years. I have a background in media, some experience in coding, and a stint abroad doing technical support at a call center. Currently, as stated above, I find myself once again doing a 180-degree career change — inspired by my love for Excel sheets.

 

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with around the office. Or just say hi. See you around!

Info about the Jamk intership program

General description:
The Jamk internship is a 5 month training period where the student intern becomes an integral part of the company workforce with real responsibilities, professional connections, output expectations and professional growth. The company will onboard the intern and provide guidance and the intern works diligently to deliver for well-defined company needs while actively developing their work life skills.

 

Intern skills:
The students applying for internships are Jamk Business Information Technology / Game Development students educated in

  • programming (C#, Unity + others)
  • arts
  • design
  • production
  • quality assurance
  • usability
  • marketing
  • team work
  • project management
  • business.

This skillbase is widely applicable for many types of digital and creative work for various use cases.

 

Target time:
Negotiable based on company needs and student curriculum, but the students are looking to start their internship during the spring, or latest by the end of summer.

 

Intern salary:
Negotiable based on company resources and intern needs.

 

Benefits for companies:
For companies looking for junior workforce, this is a great opportunity to do a 6 months low-risk trial period. Interns are also an excellent resource for project specific work. In several cases, the internship has led to a hiring.

 

Responsibilities for companies:

  • Making an internship contract with Jamk
  • A separate job contract for paid internships (+NDA if needed)
  • Guidance and mentoring throughout the internship period
  • Evaluation and reporting based on Jamk criteria
  • Contact kalle.raijonkari@jamk.fi for additional info and questions

 

 

Info about The Entrepreneur Clinic

Before starting your entreprenur internship make sure you have

  • a business plan
  • a cash flow statement
  • convinced your guiding teacher (Kalle Raijonkari) that your activities aim for a career as an entrepreneur.

 

The internships completed at the students’ own company are completed similarly to any other internships. However, the students don’t need to create a business ID during the internship because game companies are often formed around an existing product with a promising outlook. This way it is safer to complete the internship even if the outcome is that the business idea doesn’t work well enough.

Jyväskylässä voi pian sijaita koulutuskeskus, jonka huippuosaajia kaivataan niin Hollywoodissa kuin Nasassakin

Jyväskylässä voi pian sijaita koulutuskeskus, jonka huippuosaajia kaivataan niin Hollywoodissa kuin Nasassakin

Voiko Jyväskylä nousta kansainvälisten videopeli- ja elokuva-alan huippuosaajien koulutuskeskukseksi? Jyväskyläläinen osuuskunta tekee yhteistyötä suuren amerikkalaisen ohjelmistokehittäjän kanssa tämän mahdollistamiseksi.Yrittäjyystapahtuma FORTHEM Startup Day houkutteli torstai-iltapäivällä teknologiasta kiinnostuneita Jyväskylän Tourulaan Digi & Game Centeriin. Iltapäivän kohokohta oli tutustuminen Peliosuuskunta Expan projektiin, jonka tavoitteena on uusi teknologinen avaus Jyväskylään ja samalla koko Suomeen.– Projektilla voimme saada Keski-Suomeen katseita esimerkiksi Hollywood-studioilta, Startup Dayn alkusanat lausunut Tuomas Roininen toteaa.

 

Peliosuuskunta Expan varapuheenjohtaja Tuomas Roininen haluaa lisätä Jyväskylän pitovoimaa virallisella Unreal Engine -koulutuskeskuksella. Koulutuskeskuksessa voitaisiin kouluttaa huippuosaajia muun muassa elokuva-alalle, lääketieteeseen ja puolustusteollisuuteen.
