A new model that interests clients and sparks discussion

Osuma joined Kood/Sisu as a founding member because it wanted to be part of building something entirely new – while also offering its clients a new way to find talent. Kood/Sisu’s practice-oriented learning model, in which students build their skills independently and through projects, meets the needs of modern working life.

“Anyone can learn. At Sisu, we’ve had students ranging from Olympic athletes to postal workers. It’s a concrete opportunity to change careers.”

Brand value and positive attention

The collaboration has brought positive attention and curiosity among clients.

Osuma sees the collaboration as a long-term investment. At the same time, the company is actively working to support the school’s visibility and build sales together with the Sisu team.

Future: sales, targeted training, and success stories.

Ville Auvinen sees the biggest next step in developing the school’s customer acquisition.

“Getting students into working life is the school’s biggest measure of success.”

Osuma also calls for the development of targeted training and recruitment training to meet companies’ needs. In this, Kood/Sisu offers a technologically exceptionally flexible platform.
