GVL is the future of Finnish education. It teaches valuable lessons straight from business life to the students in university unlike any other study programme in JYU. GVL also brings entrepreneurs, students and university closer enabling completely new ways of interaction and networking. It also provides entrepreneurs chance to get outside view on their business which is often desperately needed. GVL can also be the first stop for companies when starting to work with university because GVL is extremely easy to approach from outside.
