2. We are seeking new Harassment Contact Persons

Tamko has had Harassment Contacts for years, who are students at TAMK. These Harassment Contacts provide help and guidance for students who have experienced disturbance in any form. We do not document these cases and the contact people have full confidentiality.  Bullying, inappropriate or discriminating behaviour are taken seriously in TAMK and Harassment Contact Persons are supporting students in these kinds of situations. 

The chosen persons for the position will be trained for the part, so we are searching for emphatic, listening and reliable students of different Degree Programmes. Tamko´s board member and employee are supporting these Harassment Contact Persons. 

If you are interested, send a free-formed application via this form. Application period is open until Wednesday 20th of November 2024. All applicants will be noted after this time. Read more about the activity from http://tamko.fi/en/tamko-harassment-contacts
