Seasonal work voucher for young people

The City of Turku’s seasonal work vouchers support young people’s employment in seasonal and temporary jobs. The vouchers are intended for young residents of Turku aged 15 to 20. An employer who hires a young person with a seasonal work voucher is entitled to financial support that covers part of the wage costs. The vouchers are issued in exchange for an agreed job placement.

• The young person must be 15–20 years old and a resident of Turku.
• The employer must be a company, association, organization, parish, or foundation. The voucher is not granted for employment at the City of Turku or any other municipality, with the state, or with a private individual.
• The job must include at least 60 working hours during the seasonal work voucher period.
• The employer must primarily pay wages according to the applicable collective agreement for the employment.
