Employment, business and integration services
From January 1, 2025, the municipalities' task is to organize employment and economic services. The state employment and business offices, or TE offices, have been abolished. Labor services are now part of the basic services of every municipality, in the same way as, for example, services related to education or community building.
With the help of employment services, both individual and business customers receive advice and guidance for job searching and employee recruitment, as well as skills development. We can develop services to suit the needs of our own municipalities and local entrepreneurs, which increases the vitality and competitiveness of our municipality and region.
We organize employment services together with the municipalities of Hausjärvi, Janakkala and Loppi and form the South Häme employment area. You can get more detailed information about employment services, contact points and contact information on the website of our employment area:

We promote the integration of immigrants
The TE reform and the Reform of the Act on the Promotion of Immigrant Integration, i.e. the KOTO reform, go hand in hand. The new Integration Act will enter into force at the same time as the TE reform on the 1st of January 2025. From then on, the municipality is responsible for promoting the integration of both unemployed jobseekers and those outside the labor force.
We organize the services of immigrants who are job seekers with the municipalities of Hausjärvi, Janakkala and Loppi as the South Häme employment area.
