AOVA - Akava’s student council

Akava’s student council, AOVA, represents the students’ voice in Akava decision-making and beyond the central organisation. It is Finland’s largest labour market organisation for students with 102,000 student members. AOVA serves as a subordinate unit to the Board of Akava and involves all Akava affiliates that have student activities. The primary task of AOVA is to put forth the student perspective within Akava’s decision-making processes and policies.

Additionally, AOVA advances the common national interests of university students and students of universities of applied sciences, as well as of newly graduated degree students.

The supervision of interests assumed by AOVA covers, in particular, the training, labour force and social political issues related to the working life of highly educated students.
