Student internships
First, news about student internships.
It is difficult for students at vocational schools to find an internship.
The reason is automation and artificial intelligence.
They have reduced the number of jobs that are suitable for interns.
Ukrainian Serhii Denichenko is studying business at Omnia.
He was looking for an internship in central Helsinki.
Omnia’s Training Manager Tarja Koskinen-Nisula says that working life has changed. For example, there is little manual work in accounting.
Finding internships has become more difficult.
The situation is difficult because internships are an important part of studying.
The student organization SAKKI says the situation is worrying. Now the news about the price of food.
Minced meat price
Ground beef is more expensive than before.
For example, organic minced meat can cost as much as 20 euros per kilo.
The reason is that people around the world are eating more beef than before. High demand is also driving up the price of meat in Finland.
Kari Nissi from Kokkola says that a suitable price for a 400 gram package of minced meat is no more than 6 euros.
“If 5-6 euros for 400 grams is still a reasonable price for me.”
Ground beef is more expensive than before. That’s why many Finns are now buying cheaper mixed meats. For example, ground pork and beef.
Satu Kellosalo bought mixed minced meat.
He also says that ground beef is expensive.
Kellosalo: “The child likes it.”
The reporter asks: “Have you been following the price trend of ground beef?”
Kellosalo replies: “Yes I am. Tilt.”
