Finnish Social Science professionals connect and deepen learning of AI with Howspace

Social Science Professionals (Yhteiskunta-alan korkeakoulutetut ry or YKA for short), a Finnish labor market association, needed a platform to run an artificial intelligence course for its members.

The association partnered up with Gofore, The Association of Finnish Lawyers (Lakimiesliitto), Kunteko 2020 - Programme for Improving Working Life in Finnish Local Government), and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (Digi- ja väestötietovirasto) to run its artificial intelligence course on Howspace.

• Better networking opportunities: With the help of Howspace, YKA was able to have its members discuss openly with participants both within and outside of the association.
• High participation rates: Even during the last month of the course, almost 70% the total number of participants were involved in the Howspace work.
• High enthusiasm among participants: Despite the fact that the course was online due to COVID-19, and carried out at the same time as all the other work, the participants did not lose their enthusiasm and they gained a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
