Student-Faculty Portal using ML and Cloud Services

In March 2020, many institutions and companies abruptly closed their premises in response to the spread of COVID19, preventing them from hosting any in-person activities which promoted the sense of working in groups and collaborating with peers. As a result, many students missed out on ways in which they can connect with those around them. Restrictions on inperson interactions between students, staff, and faculty are likely to persist in the future as well resulting in the lack of sense of collaborative working. Student Faculty Portal concentrates on effective connection building between people in colleges and universities by providing them a platform to collaborate based on their skills, interests, knowledge, and expertise.

Without motivation, however, even the most capable working student with excellent support will accomplish little. Problem Statement Students in today’s high schools feel disconnected from subject matter and the benefits of learning.

Between a Promise and a Salary: Student-Migrant-Workers’ Experiences of Precarious Labour Markets

This article examines the experiences of non-EU/EEA student-migrants orienting in precarious labour markets in Finland. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with working student-migrants holding a temporary legal status, the article examines the incidence of unpaid work within a variety of contractual settings and sectors. The findings suggest that exploitation with regard to the subjective capacity to produce is facilitated through the imposition of unpaid work hours on legally constrained migrants in precarious employment. The findings contribute to the sociological analysis of the increasingly fragmented figures of labour as well as to the study of unpaid work as a driver of precarisation.
