Recruitment Training

Do you need a new employee but can’t find a skilled worker, and there are no graduates in the field in the near future? In that case, Recruitment Training might be a good option for hiring a new employee.

Recruitment Training is always tailored to the needs of your company.

The purpose of Recruitment Training is to provide students with professional skills for the job according to the employer’s needs. The training can also be planned together with several employers. The training is also suitable for public sector employers.

The training is work-oriented. The goal can be additional, supplementary, or career-change training. The training includes theoretical instruction and guided on-the-job learning. No degrees or partial degrees are awarded through Recruitment Training.

Those who successfully complete the training will be employed by your company in a full-time fixed-term employment contract for at least one year. Employment can also be with a company providing temporary labor or as an entrepreneur in a contract relationship with the employer.

The service is discretionary. Recruitment Training does not fund regular induction and staff training, which are the employer’s responsibility, nor training that employers organize to comply with national training standards.

It is advisable to allocate about 8-14 weeks for the preliminary measures before the actual training period. The employee’s training period, in turn, lasts from a few days to 4 months, depending on the training needs.

Recruitment Training is a paid service intended for companies in Jyväskylä and Muurame that have sound financial and operational conditions. The labor authority covers 70% of the training costs, and the employer covers 30%. There are no other costs for the employer.
