The city's employment services meet dozens of experts from Riihimäki representing various fields every year.

The aim is to find motivated professionals for employment through cooperation between the employer and the job coach. Employment services can support the employer in, for example, finding a professional who meets the application profile, using various forms of support, providing job orientation, or anticipating potential challenges.

Our job coach adds value to the selection process by applying for candidates, assessing candidates' suitability and preparing interview situations. The result of the preparation is reviewed together with the employer, and based on the gathered information, the employer selects the most potential people for the interview. The job coach works in the employment training process with both the job seeker and the employer, enabling and clarifying options, while both parties are responsible for their own choices and decisions.

The job coach has the opportunity to support the employer also in other matters of the employment relationship, for example in drawing up an employment contract, training planning and using different forms of support. The job coach has the opportunity to respond flexibly to the changing needs of working life, for example by participating in customer acquisition and coordination of targeted recruitment trainings.

Our services are free of charge.

Employment services help employers by arranging work trial relationships with job seekers and employment authorities (EHTA services). A work trial is often a justified opportunity to start a successful working life partnership.

A work trial is not an employment relationship. No salary is paid during the period, and it does not accrue annual leave or pension. The organizer of the work trial is responsible for the guidance and supervision of the person participating in the work trial throughout the work trial. The person participating in the work trial is not covered by the employer's occupational health care or insurance; the South Häme employment region is responsible for insurance.

In a work trial, a person can find out their career choice and career options or their possibilities to return to the labor market or apply for a new field. In addition to labor market support, Kela pays nine euros in compensation for the work trial day.

Employment services know of several job seekers from Riihimäki who are interested in work trials in various fields. A job coach can facilitate and speed up the creation of work trial agreements and meeting the right people. If necessary, the job coach has the opportunity to support both the employer and the work trial candidate during the work trial period.

A work trial can be a gateway to a long-term and successful employment relationship.
