FITech Data

FITech’s relevant course offering addresses adult learners’ data-related skill needs

The FITech Data project addresses adult learners’ data-related competence needs at different levels. The project offers studies related to AI tools, user experience, space technologies, and management, among other topics. The courses equip learners with fundamental skills for working with data, programming- and AI-based data utilisation skills, as well as competencies in leveraging geospatial information and satellite data.

The studies are primarily aimed at people working in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises who wish to develop their data utilisation skills. Some courses have prerequisites related, for example, to technical skills, whereas the basic courses are also suitable for individuals without prior technical expertise.

Aalto University, Tampere University, University of Oulu, University of Turku, and Åbo Akademi University are involved in the project. The project starts in summer 2026 and ends on 31 August 2027, and it is funded by the Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment (SECLE).
