Ways to get into work life

There are many ways to get into work life. Learn new skills, study, gain work experience or find a whole new career path.

Training

  • In labour market training(external link, opens in a new window), you complete a vocational upper secondary qualification, vocational qualification or specialist vocational qualification by working. So you get a qualification and work experience, often including a job. Labour market training is organised by the TE Office together with employers. New labour market training programmes start all the time.
  • In apprenticeship training(external link, opens in a new window), the company will train you for the profession. This means you can work, study, get paid and gain work experience at the same time. You can complete any vocational upper secondary qualification through an apprenticeship.
  • You can also study qualifications or parts of qualifications on your own(external link, opens in a new window). If you are planning to study, talk to your personal coach well in advance. Let us find out together what kind of study best supports your employment and whether you can study with unemployment benefit. You can also study part-time(external link, opens in a new window).
  • Sometimes every little helps in getting a job. Courses and training increase competence and look good on the CV. Through us you can complete courses (e.g. CV writing, Finnish language and digital skills) and certificate training, such as the hygiene passport training. Ask more by email info.tyo@espoo.fi

Pay subsidy

A pay subsidy is a form of financial support that the TE Office or the local government pilot on employment may grant to an employer to cover the pay costs of an unemployed jobseeker. The pay subsidy is available for fixed-term and non-fixed-term employment relationships and for apprenticeship training.



Discuss the possibility of applying for a pay subsidy with your personal coach before you have found a job. The subsidy cannot be granted after your employment relationship has begun.

Velvoitetyö

Velvoitetyöllistäminen on lakisääteinen palvelu, jossa kaupunki tarjoaa tietyin ehdoin työtä 57–60 -vuotiaalle työttömälle työnhakijalle, jonka työttömyyspäiväraha-aika on täyttynyt. Työ on kokoaikatyötä, jonka kesto on enintään kuusi kuukautta. 60-vuotiaiden osalta velvoitetyö voidaan järjestää myös palveluna.

  • TE-toimisto tai työllisyyden kuntakokeilu ilmoittaa työnhakijalle oikeudesta velvoitetyöhön.
  • Jos työnhakija haluaa käyttää oikeutensa velvoitetyöhön, TE-toimisto tai työllisyyden kuntakokeilu toimittaa työllistämisilmoituksen kaupungin työllisyyspalveluihin.
  • Työllisyyspalveluiden työntekijä ottaa yhteyttä työllistettävään henkilöön ja kutsuu hänet haastatteluun.

Voit tarkistaa mahdollisen velvoitetyöoikeutesi omalta TE-toimiston asiantuntijaltasi tai työllisyyden kuntakokeilun omavalmentajaltasi.

Work trial

With the help of a work trial(external link, opens in a new window), you can get acquainted with working life, various jobs and professions. A work trial may also be a good choice if you have been out of work for a long time or want to test how you can manage at work.

Rehabilitative work activities

If you have been unemployed for a long time, you can participate in rehabilitative work activities. Work activities will give you a chance to learn about different jobs and improve your working life skills, such as language and digital skills. You will receive support for everyday life and health problems. The aim of work activities is to help you find your path to employment or education.
