HIOP ry acts as trustee of the technology sector of the Hämeenlinna University Center and the Forssa campus and, if necessary, takes a position on questions concerning its membership. 

In 2024, the Engineers' Association aims to:

Let's lower the level higher

  • Competence differences grow during elementary school

  • Math skills are declining

  • Curricula and teaching culture do not take into account students' differences and differences in skills

  • The luma skills of those applying for studies should be taken into account in teacher trainingt

​

Passing and quality in the field of technology

  • High-quality technical know-how is necessary for the success of companies

  • Challenges in passing the engineering field

  • Guidance to be developed

  • The best way to increase the number of skilled people is by developing education

  • Resources should be set aside for filling the skill gaps in science and mathematics subjects

  • Funding to be withdrawn per degree

​

Possibilities for skill maintenance

  • Updating the employee's skills must be made part of everyday working life

  • The role of conversion training is growing and the distribution of funding is being developed

  • To enable continuous learning, a knowledge account system will be created, which will be funded by individuals, companies and the state

  • The number of short degrees and diploma courses will be increased

​

Versatile experts for the needs of working life

  • The special features of universities of applied sciences and universities in the higher education system will be preserved

  • For increasing the number of degrees, additional funding must be allocated to the basic funding of universities of applied sciences

  • The change in demand for engineers due to cyclical fluctuations is answered with conversion training

  • Completing 75 percent of the students within the target time, e.g. by increasing study guidance resources
