Herizon Community Newsletter 5/2025
Hello, hi and happy May! Summer might be fast approaching but we're not ready let go of the hustle and bustle just yet. There's still time to enjoy the last bits of Spring season 💪☀️
What's still to come? Read it all below 👇
Union Lawyers at your service 💼
We're excited to bring you not one, but two opportunities to get valuable insights and advice from union lawyers. Whether you're curious about your rights and basics of employment in Finland or have deeper questions about legalities and regulations—now's the time to get all of them answered 🔥
You don't have to be a professional of any specific industry to join these sessions.
Join us for an online-only session with Insinööriliitto (Union of Professional Engineers). Reserve your spot here 👈
Join us either live or online for this Q&A session with Tradenomiliitto (Union for Professionals of Business and Technology). Reserve your spot here 👈
Get code-mentored by senior devs 💻
We're excited to collaborate with Codebar, bringing their workshops that make learning to code more accessible to the coders in our community. Their goal is to enable minority group members to learn programming in a safe and collaborative environment and expand their career opportunities.
In this workshop, you will be paired with a technical coach (usually a senior developer) who will help you with your projects and learning.
Building volunteer-led communities 🏗️ ❤️
Join us for an inspiring after-work panel where we get to learn from the community founder journeys of Maria Rödberg (Customer Success Nordics), Lumi Tomperi (TA Café), and Kwabena Asante (Finance Talks Finland), and get a peek into how you can snowball your interest in a specific field into a community of like-minded people.
This is a great opportunity to get tangible advice for building your own community, network with fellow community enthusiasts, and of course, explore communities you might’ve not yet been familiar with.
What kind of a product are You? 🤔
Join us either live at our office or online for this practical workshop, led by Emma Ylivainio; an experienced designer and entrepreneur helping startups find product-market fit.
We'll flip the script and explore together how you can apply design thinking into mapping the product of you as a talent, understand your buyer (ie. the employers) and how you can build a career path that feels like your own.
Don't miss out on online mentoring sessions 🤩
Our previously internship program-exclusive mentoring sessions are now open for all! Changing mentors presenting sharing their knowledge and answering your questions on a weekly basis until early July. Getting industry insights and practical advice has never been this easy.

Last LinkedIn boot camp of the Spring season is here! Tune in for the June intensive where we run through the entire boot camp in two sessions, each 2 hours long. Ready to become visible? Let's get it.
