Employment services for immigrants
When you register as a jobseeker, you start your job search and customer relationship with the Employment services in Espoo. As a jobseeker, you can apply for unemployment benefit from Kela or your unemployment fund. The Employment services advises and guides you in applying for work and offers other services that help you integrate and get work. Such services may include integration training and multilingual social orientation, where you can find information about Finnish society. The initial interview or the assessment of the competence and integration service needs examines your study and work history, language skills and other matters affecting your integration and employment. In addition, your language, reading and writing skills may be tested. An integration plan supports your integration in Finland. It agrees on Finnish or Swedish language studies that correspond to your study skills and on participation in services that promote employment that best suit your situation.
