työllistämistukiin

Työllistämistuki is a Finnish term that translates to "employment subsidy" or "hiring subsidy." It refers to financial assistance provided by the government, typically through TE Services (Public Employment and Business Services), to employers who hire individuals who face challenges in finding employment. The primary goal of these subsidies is to reduce the costs associated with hiring and to encourage employers to take a chance on individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.

These subsidies are often targeted towards specific groups, such as long-term unemployed individuals, young job seekers, older workers, or people with disabilities. The amount and duration of the subsidy can vary depending on the individual's circumstances, the employer's situation, and the specific type of subsidy. The subsidy can cover a portion of the employee's wages or other employment-related costs.

For employers, työllistämistuki offers a financial incentive to create jobs and integrate individuals who may require additional support or training. For the job seeker, it can be a crucial stepping stone to gaining work experience, developing new skills, and becoming more competitive in the labor market. The intention is that the subsidy will facilitate a stable employment relationship that can continue even after the subsidy period ends, leading to long-term integration into the workforce.
