We provide vocational education in a variety of fields: industry and logistics, construction, food and cleaning industries, business, IT and media, social and healthcare as well as natural resources. In addition, we provide liberal adult education. We have five campuses located in Central Ostrobothnia: Kokkola, Kannus, Kaustinen, Kälviä and Perho. Every year, we provide education to around 5000 vocational students. Considering both our liberal adult education students and those enrolled in our short courses, the total student count amounts to 8100.
