Guild of Industrial Engineering and Management - Indecs

Indecs is the guild of IEM students at the University of Tampere. Indecs is a visible part of Tampere's active student community. Our guild organises a wide range of events, from excursions and recruitment events to theatre and sauna nights. On school days, the guild room gathers Indecs students to spend time in a nice and relaxed atmosphere.

Indecs students as experts

Above all, our studies give us a broad and varied picture of companies and markets as a whole. Thanks to a technical minor, Indecs students are especially suited for the needs of industrial companies. IEM students are open-minded and analytical; we have good social skills and the ability to grasp the big picture.

Indecs students like to be challenged in their work and studies, learn quickly and are able to work in a team and take on responsibility independently. We are international and have a wide range of interests. Indecs students are sought-after employees in the world of work and a large proportion of students are employed before they graduate.

Working with us gives you the unique opportunity to market your company and your open positions directly to our students! Working with our guild ensures that you reach the multiskilled experts of the future.

How to get involved

Our guild offers a wide range of different ways of partnership, and we are always open to new suggestions. We value reciprocity in our cooperation and always strive to achieve our cooperation goals.

A partnership always starts with the establishment of a cooperation agreement. During the negotiation of the agreement, we aim to create a tailor-made package for each company according to its wishes. We formulate agreements throughout the year, so you can contact us at any time. Contracts are usually for one year, but we can deviate from this according to the wishes of the company.

We generally use two types of contracts: annual contracts and communication contracts.

• A communication contract allows a company or organisation to share a single advertisement/announcement on our channels (Indecs Jobs and email list).
• Annual contracts usually include a communication agreement and other components requested by the company. In this case, the communication includes the company's advertisements on our channels for one year. Here are some examples of possible components:

Every year, the annual gala is the most important and glamorous event in our guild. We put a lot of effort into our annual celebrations and offer visibility at our celebrations to companies. We prepare some packages for the annual gala, but we also listen to the company and tailor a suitable package if necessary.

We organise a few discussion panels a year at our campus in Hervanta, Tampere. At the discussion panels, our members have the opportunity to talk to business representatives about topics of interest to our members. Panel events are excellent opportunities to showcase your company's substantive expertise.

An overall advertisement is one of the most visible forms of collaboration, where the company logo is on the overall of a particular class and is displayed throughout their studies.

Every autumn, when new freshmen start their studies, we give them freshmen bags. The bags contain promotional products from partnering companies. The bag itself may also carry a company logo.

A company event can basically be anything the company wishes for. Even the craziest ideas are not to be discounted! For example, the academic dinner parties that take place a few times a year sometimes have company representatives and a jointly agreed program. There are also sporting events with business representatives held every year!

The mentoring project is organised at the beginning of the academic year in the autumn. The purpose of the mentoring is for a company employee to personally guide a student from our guild, thus creating a contact that can have a lasting impact after graduation.

The guild’s magazine Infacto is published three to four times a year. In the magazine we distribute company advertisements and announcements. If you wish, your company can also submit an article to the magazine. The guild magazine reaches a large readership of members of our guild and other student organizations. Take a look at the Infacto magazines from 2004.

The Alumni Newsletter is published a few times a year for alumni of our guild. With the Alumni Letter, the company reaches out to our graduates who have already entered the working life.
