About Perho

The best ingredients for future professionals

Perho Culinary, Tourism and Business College is a pioneer in vocational education and training in Finland. Its history dates back to 1935 and 1944, when the Finnish Hotel and Restaurant School and the School of Factories were founded to serve the development of the service sectors and the labor needs of a changing society. We are proud of our roots!

Even today, students in Perho study the service industry business – hospitality, tourism, nature and business, also so that they can combine their studies with an ambitious career in top-level sport. Perho is not only founded by business, but also owned by it. We constantly work closely with businesses in our sectors to ensure that our training is up-to-date and to anticipate changing skills needs.

Perho receives excellent feedback on its efforts to ensure the well-being and employability of each of our students. It’s a matter of honor for Perho to provide the best preparation for the skills of the future – and the best service workers for the labor market of the future.
