Responsibility for public employment services transfers to municipalities on 1 Jan 2025. The Turku Employment Region, with 23 municipalities in Southwest Finland, will have Turku as the lead municipality. This change will affect how employers handle employment service matters.
Transition of Customer Relationships
Employer customer relationships will not automatically transfer to the new employment authorities. However, employer customer information will remain in the system.
You Must Contact Before Using Online Services
From 1 january 2025, employers must first contact the municipality of their choice within the Turku Employment Area by phone, email, or by visiting in person. A new case officer will then be assigned to the employer.
Only after this can employers submit electronic contact requests via JobMarket Finland: Employers and entrepreneurs - Job Market Finland
Telephone services and other contact details will be maintained on a dedicated webpage:
