Statutory employment services become part of municipal services

 

From the beginning of 2025, municipalities will assume responsibility for the employment services offered to jobseekers and employers. The current TE Offices will be discontinued, and your municipality Paraisten kaupunki - Pargas stad will help you in employment matters.

Valid customer relationships in employment services will continue automatically in 2025. This does not require any action from you.

During the current year, all service transactions, including registration as a customer, take place with the TE Office as usual.

We will publish more detailed instructions on using services on the website of Paraisten kaupunki – Pargas stad during the autumn.

 

What does this change mean?

Transferring your services to Paraisten kaupunki – Pargas stad does not affect the validity of your job search or the tasks or services that have already been agreed upon with you. Your municipality will provide you with instructions on using the services, and you do not need to re-register as a jobseeker or contact the municipality in regard to the transfer. If necessary, we will contact you personally.

Register as a jobseeker in the Job Market Finland e-service. Job Market Finland will continue to be a meeting place for jobs and employees. You can find work-related information and services as well as vacancies in the service. When you log in to Job Market Finland, you can create e.g. a job applicant profile or a job advertisement.

You can always contact your municipality in matters related to your job search or recruitment of employees. If necessary, your municipality will help you forward.
