Welcome to Oulu City Hall to learn about how you can harness AI to help you steer your career.

You can join just one or multiple events in the series, just make sure to register for each part separately.
In this event, you’ll learn how you can build your own career coach using currently available LLMs (Large Language Models) such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and DeepSeek. We’ll explore different prompts that help you dig into your strengths and preferences, and ultimately find career paths that combine the things you enjoy. In addition, we’ll explore AI as a search engine as well as other alternative search methods to find companies in the industries we’re targeting.
This event has interactive parts and personal exploration with the prompts and strategies we’ll learn so make sure to bring your laptop or other digital device with you if you want to get testing during the event already.
