Through the 'E-services' section, you can also apply for labour market training and apply for a start-up grand to start a business.

By using the E-services at Job Market Finland you can

  • register as a job seeker so that you can apply for an unemployment benefit,

Notice

If you need to prove that your job search is valid and that you have registered as a job seeker, you can print the front page of the E-services section or show it on a mobile device, where the validity and start date of your job search are displayed. If this does not meet your needs, the service provider does not accept the evidence, or for some reason it is not possible to obtain or print it, the employment authority can sign a separate certificate confirming the validity of your job search and unemployment.

The chat and online services of the national advisory services may be temporarily disrupted due to the unavailability of data connections.
