Incap Empowers the Next Generation of Skilled Professionals at Taitaja 2025
April 21, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Incap Corporation is proud to support the Taitaja 2025 Championship of vocational skills, Finland’s largest annual event dedicated to vocational education and training. The sponsorship focuses on supporting the organisation of the national competition, which promotes the development of future professionals and encourages young people to pursue careers in technology and skilled trades.
As part of the sponsorship, Incap is supporting the Electronics skill category at Taitaja 2025. A portion of the sponsorship will contribute to the prizes awarded to the top three competitors in this category. The aim is to support young people in developing their skills and to help promote interest in careers within the technology and electronics sector – both in Finland and internationally.
“As a listed stock company in Finland, we are dedicated to supporting initiatives that positively impact local youth and promote technical education and innovation,” said Otto Pukk, President and CEO of Incap Corporation. “Taitaja plays a significant role in fostering vocational excellence and inspiring the next generation of professionals in fields that are essential to our future.”
The Taitaja 2025 finals will take place in Turku from 5 to 8 May 2025, with Turku Vocational Institute as the main organiser. The event is coordinated by Skills Finland, an organisation focused on promoting the value and visibility of vocational education. Skills Finland collaborates with partners who share the goal of strengthening vocational expertise in Finland, including the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, the Finnish National Agency for Education, vocational institutions, and key labour and education organisations.
Taitaja brings together the most talented vocational students from across Finland to compete in over 50 skill categories. Finalists are selected through semi-finals held nationwide. The event also includes TaitajaPLUS, a set of categories for students in need of special support, and some categories welcome international participants. The full competition timetable and individual schedules for each skill can be found on the official Taitaja2025 website.
Since its establishment in 1988, Taitaja has provided thousands of vocational students with a platform to demonstrate their skills, grow professionally, and gain national recognition. The event stands as a testament to the value of high-quality vocational education and the potential of young talent across Finland. Incap Corporation’s support contributes to the successful organisation of the competition. This is not the first initiative in Finland where Incap has supported young talent – the company also sponsors the Innokas programming and robotics tournament. In addition to its involvement in Finland, Incap actively supports youth and education-focused initiatives in other countries where it operates.
