Vaasa Region Development Company VASEK has together with 11 energy technology companies in the region announced Finland's best summer job position. The energy ambassador's job consists of getting to know the Vaasa region and its top energy technology companies by working one week for each company and to share the experiences mainly in the social media. For the three-month job, the ambassador will earn 30,000 euro plus a number of benefits including four-star accommodation, car, occupational health care, banking and investment services and daily consumer goods, arranged by the campaign partners.

- Vaasa region is the Nordic leader in energy technology and it has the best employment situation in all of Finland as well as all elements needed for a happy life. Not everybody knows about this and that is why we need an energy ambassador, says Suvi Markko, the Vaasa region's Communications Manager at VASEK.

- The companies in the region offer challenging and international work duties for competent persons especially in the field of technology. It is of great importance for us to attract skilled and competent workforce to the region, tells Robert Olander, Marketing Director at Technology Centre Merinova.

A number of top companies and organizations in the region participate in the campaign with the common goal of bringing the region and its energy technology cluster the attention it deserves. The ambassador's employers will be ABB, Wärtsilä, Vaasa Energy Institute, Mervento, Citec, Wapice, VAMP, VNT Management, Vaasan Sähkö, Leinolat Group, Stormossen and VASEK.
