Independent study is useful if the Päijät-Häme Employment Services cannot offer you a place in integration training or you can find some other training that is better suited to your needs. Sometimes independent study can help you find work and integrate faster.
You may look for a place of study yourself, or the Päijät-Häme Employment Services may offer you a place of study for independent trainin ...
If you plan on starting studies or have already applied for a study place, do the following.
Contact the Päijät-Häme Employment Services immediately.
Sometimes the Päijät-Häme Employment Services may send you forms that relate to starting studies or study support. Follow the instructions given to you and submit the forms at least 2 weeks prior to starting the studies.
If the decision is favourable, a new integration plan will be prepared for you. Agreements concerning the studies and the related obligations are set out in the new integration plan.
If the decision is negative, the Päijät-Häme Employment Services will inform you of the decision by letter.
As a precondition for supporting the studies, the Päijät-Häme Employment Services has decided that you need training and assessed that the studies support your integration and employment. You must agree on studies in your integration plan with an expert of the Päijät-Häme Employment Services. If necessary, you must provide a report on the progress of your studies.
If you apply and are accepted to an independent course, the extent of which is at least 20 hours a week, notify an expert of the Päijät-Häme Employment Services immediately. You must pay any course fees yourself.
If you interrupt the studies, the payment of unemployment security might be interrupted.
