VAMK's Rector and CEO Kati Komulainen says Iddrisu has made a positive impact on and off campus.
- We are proud of your success. You are an example to all students.
Iddrisu has been working at Wärtsilä until the end of September. Now he is ready for new challenges, although he is also studying Strategic Business Development at Vaasa University.

If you get rejected, ask the company how you can get better. Then update your skills according to that.
