työttömyyspalveluissa

Työttömyyspalvelut refers to the employment services available to individuals who are unemployed in Finland. These services are primarily provided by the Employment and Economic Development Offices, known as TE-toimistot. The main goal of these services is to help unemployed individuals find new employment or re-enter the labor market as quickly as possible.

Upon registering as unemployed, individuals typically have an initial meeting with an employment counselor. During this meeting, their skills, education, and work experience are assessed. Based on this assessment, a personal employment plan is created, outlining the steps and support measures necessary for the individual to find work. This plan might include job search assistance, career counseling, or participation in training programs.

TE-toimistot offer a range of services, including job listings, information on available training and education opportunities, and advice on entrepreneurship. They also facilitate access to unemployment benefits through Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, and various unemployment funds. For those facing significant challenges in finding employment, more intensive support, such as job coaching or subsidized employment, may be provided. The aim is to provide tailored support to meet the diverse needs of the unemployed population.
