I work as a project coordinator in a national project entity. In the cooperation area of Eastern Finland, we have our own sub-entity and we employ 6 people here. My job is to develop service chains and service packages for pregnant women and families who use intoxicants. I work on a computer and online, so I use different digital tools every day. Network maintenance and meetings also take place online.

Microsoft office: I use Microsoft Office every day in my work. Email, Word, PowerPoint are used every day. I also use OneDrive storage to store my work.

 Teams: My work community has several members and some are in a different town than me. Teams is an important tool for us to work together. We can easily share information with each other through our own team channels. Almost all meetings are also in Teams. If Teams doesn’t work, it makes my work significantly more difficult.

 Nepton: is a time tracking system. I enter my working hours and sick leave there. As far as I know, my supervisor approves them once a month.

Rondo:  I check all invoices allocated to our project and send them to my supervisor for approval.
