Courses
CeMeWE offers an introductory course for migrant women on service design in the Fall of 2024. Service design helps companies, organizations, and other entities solve problems by thinking about what their customers need. In the course you will learn to come up with new ideas for products or services. During the course, you will work in a group composed of other women and undertake a real service design project for a Finnish organization. By the end of the course, you will have a plan to solve the organization's problem. Learning service design equips you with skills to solve problems creatively. You can use these skills to become a service designer or in any job that requires innovative solutions.
