Artificial intelligence, programming, and internationality

In Mobie Oy’s product development, educational technology, artificial intelligence, and multilingualism come together. Future recruitments will focus on developers familiar with the education sector who understand, for example, Arabic- or Hindi-language learning environments. Among Kood/Sisu’s student body, Arabic-speaking developers with a background in teaching have already been found – exactly matching Mobie Oy’s needs.

“This is a direct synergy benefit for us. Kood/Sisu provides professionals with both a technical and a pedagogical background. You can’t find that anywhere else.”

The collaboration also provides important visibility. Through Kood/Sisu, Mobie Oy has participated in seminars, gained speaking opportunities, and reached new partners within the network.

Career changers, social and healthcare expertise, and the professionals of the future

A recipe for building the future.

Istekki finds career changers trained by Kood/Sisu particularly interesting, as they often already have an understanding of the industry. When this is combined with new technical skills, it creates a professional profile that directly meets the needs of the field – especially in social and healthcare ICT and cybersecurity.

“Career changers with industry knowledge and new technical skills – that’s a recipe for building the future.”

A positive start – and a promising future

The collaboration has gotten off to an active start. Mobie Oy has already been contacted by students, and the first internship interviews have been scheduled. The visibility on social media has also made an impression.

“They are cheerful, active, and genuinely interested in helping. There’s no need to chase them – they come in through the doors and windows on their own.”

In the future, Mobie also wants to participate in the development of training content, particularly in the use of artificial intelligence in software development.

“The use of artificial intelligence is no longer the future – it is the present. We need developers who know how to use it effectively.”

Education and companies at the same table

One of the main reasons for getting involved was the desire to lower the barrier between education and the business world. Mobie sees the Kood/Sisu model as an example of how the expertise of the future is built – together.
