Who can
register?
In
general, you can register as unemployed if you are out of a job, are willing to
work, and have no other occupation that makes working impossible. Even if
you can not register as unemployed, for example because you are currently
employed but are looking for a new job, you can still register as a jobseeker.
The difference between unemployed persons and jobseekers is in the services and
benefits offered.
The Labour
Market Services and Benefits Act (par. 3, 6 and 7) describes in detail who can
register and who can not.
How and
where can I register?
To
register, you must go in person to one of the Töötukassa offices. Offices are
open in every county. A list with addresses and opening hours can be found on
this page. Be sure to
choose an office that is easy for you to travel to. The office you have
registered in is also the one where you will have to go to for further visits.
If the location would for some reason become inconvenient to you, you can apply
to change the office where you are registered. However, changing offices may
take some time, during which time you must be ready to travel to the office
where you have originally registered.
What
should I bring?
To
successfully register you as unemployed or as jobseeker, we need a valid
identity document.
We can
help you further and more quickly if you also bring documents concerning your
last employment. You should take along any form or paper you have received from
your previous employer that has to do with the reason this previous employment
ended. The more
information we have about your skills and qualifications, the quicker we can
assist you. Bringing a copy of an updated curriculum vitae, if you have one, is
certainly helpful.
What
happens after registration?
After
registering as unemployed or jobseeker, you will receive individual help. A job
mediation consultant will explain to you what services or benefits are
available to you, will make an Individual Action Plan, and will start working
with you towards finding new employment.Registering
also means that your specific qualifications and skills will be matched against
the available vacancies.
