Workers' cooperative as a path to employment – information for jobseekers

Join us for an info session to discover how a workers’ cooperative can offer a flexible way to work for yourself — without the need to start your own business.

If you’ve been wondering how to make the most of your skills and work independently in your field, this session is designed just for you.

During the event, you’ll get clear answers to key questions such as:

• What exactly is a workers’ cooperative, and how does it work in practice?
• How can you join one, and what does membership involve?
• Can you receive unemployment benefits while being part of a cooperative?
• How does working in a cooperative affect your relationship with employment services?
• Is it really possible to earn a living through a workers’ cooperative?

Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2025, 10:00 – 12:00
Location: Alma Hall, Adult Education Centre, 3rd floor, Raastuvankatu 31.

Please note: The event will be held in Finnish, but presentation materials will be in English. You’re welcome to attend even if your Finnish is still developing and you’re free to ask questions in English.

This free session is especially aimed at jobseekers looking for new ways to enter the workforce or strengthen their position in the labor market.
