Do the following
Contact the employment authority of your area and submit a proposal for jointly acquired training.
The handler of your proposal will contact you to assess training needs and draw up a preliminary training plan.
To whom and on what terms
The employment authority will investigate whether the prerequisites for the training are met and whether there is a need for training.
If the training is targeted at persons to be employed by the employer, the employer’s contribution to the total price of the training without value added tax is 30 per cent and the employment authority’s contribution 70 per cent.
If the training is targeted at persons laid off or dismissed from the employer’s service, the employer’s contribution to the total price of the training without value added tax is 20 per cent and the employment authority’s contribution 80 per cent.
If the jointly acquired training is intended for employees or temporary agency workers employed by the employer or temporary agency workers whose purpose is to continue working for the employer, the employer’s contribution to the total price of the training without value added tax is 30–50 per cent. The contributions from the total price of the training, excluding VAT, are determined on the basis of the number of employees employed by the employer and the employer’s annual turnover or balance sheet.
Jointly acquired training is not to be used for the financing of regular orientation and personnel training for which the employer is the cost bearer or of training that employers must organise in order to comply with the national training standards.
If you intend to become an entrepreneur, you can organise jointly acquired training to increase your entrepreneurial capabilities if you have few commissioners as an entrepreneur or if you intend to acquire entrepreneurship rights from another company.
Regional guidelines for Ostrobothnia Employment Services
The current policy for 2025 is that, for the time being, subsidy for joint procurement training will only be granted for recruitment training (RekryKoulutus), i.e. individuals hired into employment by an employer.
If you can't find skilled employees, you can train them yourself together with an educator through recruitment training (RekryKoulutus). The training is tailored to meet your company's needs. It includes both theoretical instruction and supervised on-the-job learning and work practice. Those who successfully complete the training will be employed by the company. The employment must be full-time, based on either a permanent or fixed-term contract for a minimum of 12 months.
The service is intended for small and medium-sized enterprises, with a focus on small businesses (a maximum of 49 employees and either an annual turnover or a balance sheet total of no more than €10 million).
This service is available within the funding allocated to the Employment Services. So, get in touch with us early on so we can assess your company's eligibility for support.
