The training is tailored to the employer’s needs. The training can consist of continuing professional development, further training or career change training.
As a general rule, the City of Helsinki covers 70% and the employer covers 30% of the training costs.
Helsinki Employment Services can also organise vocational labour market training in collaboration with another party that contributes to funding the training. This other party can be an employer, the client of a person intending to become an entrepreneur or a company transferring its business rights to another party.
As an employer, you can organise vocational labour market training to develop the professional skills and competence of current or future personnel. You can organise joint purchase training when the training is aimed at employees or temporary agency workers in your employ, persons who you intend to employ or persons who you have laid off or dismissed.
Joint purchase training can also be aimed at you as an entrepreneur when you are starting a business.
Conditions
Helsinki Employment Services will assess whether the conditions for the training are met and whether there is a genuine need for the training.
If the training is aimed at persons to be employed by the employer, the employer's share of the total price of the training, excluding value added tax, will be 30%, with the employment authority's share being 70%.
Ordinary induction and personnel training intended to be covered by employers and training that employers organise to comply with national training standards cannot be financed as joint purchase training.
If you want to become an entrepreneur or need to improve your business competence, Helsinki Employment Services can purchase suitable training in collaboration with you. This type of training is always discretionary and must be agreed upon with a Helsinki Employment Services specialist.
Instructions
Contact Helsinki Employment Services and present a proposal for the joint purchase training.
The specialist who processes your proposal will assess your training needs with you and prepare a preliminary training plan.
Payment information
The organisation of joint purchase training requires the company to cover part of the costs of the training. The employer’s and Helsinki Employment Services' shares of the total cost of the training depend on who the training is aimed at.
