Erikoismitoissa

Erikoismitoissa is a term used in employment law in Finland to describe a type of targeted work placement. The primary purpose of erikoismitoissa is to employ individuals who do not easily find or keep a job, due to factors such as disability or other special needs.

Erikoismitoissa is often a last resort for individuals who have been unemployed for an extended period of time. This type of employment typically involves placing the individual in a specific job within an existing company. The job is tailored to the individual's needs and abilities, allowing them to gain work experience and build their employability.

The Finnish government and labor unions have implemented policies and programs aimed at promoting employment and integrating individuals with disabilities into the workforce. Erikoismitoissa is one such initiative, aimed at reducing unemployment rates among vulnerable populations.

Individuals participating in erikoismitoissa are typically given a trial contract for an initial period, usually six to twelve months, during which they can gain hands-on experience and build their skills. The goal is for these individuals to become permanent employees within the company.

Due to the individualized nature of erikoismitoissa, these placements can vary significantly in terms of their structure and duration. Targets for erikoismitoissa are typically set in collaboration between the company, government agencies, and social services.
