Oskar Hänninen

Competitor in Skill: Print Media Technology

How did you get interested in your skill?
When I had to choose which school I would go when I was about to graduate from primary school, I had no clue where to go, so I went to Print Media Technology school because my friend was there.

Where did you do your training for your skill?
I work as a full-time print technician so I get good routine from there, and I've also had some training sessions outside my work. I've visited few schools and also had a one week training trip to Germany, at the Heidelberg's print machine facility area.

How did you first find out about your Member organization and its programs? 
I was contacted and invited by a teacher in my school.

What is your experience in participating with your Member organization? Millaista kilpailuihin osallistuminen on ollut, saa kertoa myös Taitajasta.
It's been interesting and also sometimes little tough.

Describe your most memorable moment so far with WorldSkills?
Ending ceremony of EuroSkills 2014, in France.

Describe what your experience has been since your involvement with WorldSkills.
I've gained deeper understanding and expertise in my industry. It's nice to notice that I really can do something like a professional.


What do you currently do? Where do you work?
I work as a full-time print technician in Grano, which is the biggest print media concern in Finland and I'm also studying print media technology in Jyväskylän Ammattiopisto.

What are your future career aspirations?
Right after I fly back from Brazil, I will start at Audiovisual Communications school.
