Career Design Lab

Career design is a creative approach for leading your career with meaning, experimentation, and collaboration. Creating a path that is sustainable in terms of your wellbeing and impact while finding meaningfulness is at the core of what career design aims for.

At Career Design Lab, we provide research-based, creative services and collaborate with the Aalto University community and partners. We support Aalto students and alumni in career design, collaborate with alumni and organizations, connect employers with Aalto talent and help all lifewide learners prepare for the future of work.
