Töötukassasse

Töötukassa, officially the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, is a public institution in Estonia responsible for managing unemployment insurance and providing employment services. It was established to support individuals who have lost their jobs and to facilitate their re-entry into the labor market. The fund is financed through employer and employee contributions.

Töötukassa offers a range of services to job seekers, including career counseling, vocational training, and job search assistance. It also provides unemployment benefits to eligible individuals who meet specific criteria, such as having a prior employment history. The institution plays a crucial role in mitigating the economic and social impact of unemployment in Estonia.

Beyond individual support, Töötukassa also works with employers by offering services like recruitment assistance and information on labor market trends. The aim is to foster a dynamic and efficient labor market that benefits both employees and employers. The organization's activities are governed by Estonian legislation and overseen by its council, which comprises representatives from the government, employers, and employees.
