How do I apply for training?

Apply for labour market training in the Job Market Finland’s e-service

If you are unable to apply online, you apply by filling in the form “Application for labour market training”.

Before submitting your application, carefully read the admission criteria of the training programme you are interested in.

If you are an unemployed jobseeker, you can apply for reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses from the employment authority when you travel for an admission event or aptitude test for labour market training, or visit the educational institution before starting labour market training if your disability or illness requires familiarisation with the accessibility and suitability of the educational institution.

You can get support for using the E-service from the Job Market Finland's E-services advice.
