koulutettavan

Koulutettavan is a Finnish word that primarily appears as the genitive singular form of the noun koulutettava, which refers to a person who is to be trained or educated. In practice, koulutettava is used to denote a trainee or learner in contexts such as workplaces, apprenticeships, and training programs. The genitive singular form koulutettavan is used to indicate something belonging to or relating to the trainee, for example in phrases like koulutettavan suostumus (the trainee’s consent) or koulutettavan oikeudet (the trainee’s rights).

Etymologically, koulutettava is derived from the verb kouluttaa, meaning to educate or train, with the noun-forming suffix that creates a designation for a person who is to undergo training. The word can function as a noun, and in contexts where it is used as a noun, its inflected form koulutettavan marks possession or relation to the trainee. In everyday Finnish, koulutettava can also appear in compounds or in phrases describing training status, though the most common inflected use involving the genitive is along the lines of koulutettavan jotain.

Usage notes emphasize formal or administrative contexts, such as employment, education, or safety and compliance texts. The term is closely related to other words for learner or trainee, such as harjoittelija, but koulutettava specifically highlights a person who is scheduled to receive formal training. Correct usage requires aligning the case with the governed noun or preposition, for example: Koulutettavan on noudatettava koulutussuunnitelmaa. Koulutettavan oikeudet turvataan lainsäädännön mukaan.
