They tried working with very different groups of the elderly and of organizations that provide services for the elderly.
Therefore, Professional work experience IV is a continuous course of work experience of the students’ choice in connection to a supervisor’s recommendation and should be related to the possibilities of the organization. When choosing work experience, it will also be monitored for being related to the practical part of the thesis.

It focuses on demonstrating the educational erudition of students to work with the selected target group, the specific demands, behaviours and needs of which they can take into account in their educational activities.
