The Executive Training Programme, which is organized by the Institute for Extension Studies at the University of Tampere , began in 1984 and soon established itself as the leading executive trainer in the Tampere region.
Teaching is given by instructors from Finnish universities and institutions of higher education.
Also experts from industry and commerce are used. The programme includes lecture courses, group work, self-study and company visits. JOKO is an excellent example of successful cooperation between universities and business life.
