Work and training
Forestry engineers work mostly for the forest industry and forest owners' associations (metsänhoitoyhdistykset), and also for forestry service companies, the Finnish Forest Centre and Metsähallitus. In TTS Työtehoseura's 2023 survey the most common tasks were advising forest owners, silviculture and buying timber, and seven in ten of those who graduated in 2020 to 2022 worked in forestry jobs that matched their training. The qualification is a bachelor's degree from a university of applied sciences, metsätalousinsinööri (AMK), worth 240 credits or about four years, taught at five Finnish-language and one Swedish-language university of applied sciences.
