Taitaja9

Taitaja9 is a positive, practical competition that pulls in competitors from grades 7 to 9. The best teams advance through local and regional competitions to the final, which is held in the spring as part of the national Taitaja event.

Taitaja9 is a competition for the whole upper comprehensive school. The competition is playful, but the tasks certainly demand agility and creativity. The tasks are based on the subjects of basic education. Each team contains three people, and the participants must be in grades 7 to 9.

We coordinate activities in which vocational institutions organise around 80 local competitions and 12 regional competitions every year across Finland. Approximately 10,000 upper secondary school pupils participate in the competition every year.

Competition stages

The Taitaja9 competition consists of three stages:

  • Local competitions, from which the most successful teams go on to the regional competition for their area.
  • Regional competitions, from which the best teams in the region go on to the national final.
  • The final, which is held in the spring as part of the national Taitaja event.

Around 80 local and 12 regional competitions are held in Finland each year. The Taitaja9 competition final is held each year as part of the national Taitaja vocational skill competition.
