Assessment of the competence and service needs

The South Häme employment area assesses what the immigrant is capable of and what services he or she needs. We investigate, for example, the following:

  • what goals and wishes you have,
  • what you have studied before
  • what you have done for work
  • what languages you know
  • what kind of working capacity or functional capacity you have,
  • what else has a significant impact on your getting a job and integration.

We will make an integration plan for you.

Once we have assessed your skills and service needs, we will decide together which services you should participate in. We will agree on these things in your integration plan.

We write goals in the integration plan that we decide together. When we decide on the goals, we take into account your wishes, skills, life situation, education and previous work experience.

In which language do we assess your skills and service needs?

We assess your skills and service needs in your native language or another language that you know well.

To whom and on what terms

We can assess what you know and what services you need if

  • you have just moved to Finland and
  • Your new municipality of residence is Riihimäki, Janakkala, Hausjärvi or Loppi.

We will invite you to this assessment if your situation is one of the following:

  • you or a member of your family receives international protection,
  • you receive social assistance but not temporarily,
  • you receive home care support,
  • you have come to Finland as a minor without a guardian,
  • you are a victim of human trafficking.

Do the following

Do you want us to assess what you know and what services you need? If you want, register as a job seeker. Register as a job seeker in the Työmarkkinattori Asiointi service if you have a Finnish personal identity number and the ability to identify yourself electronically.

Come visit Kotola in Riihimäki or the South Häme employment area office in Janakkala if

  • you do not have a Finnish personal identity code or
  • you cannot register as a job seeker in the E-services at Job Market Finland.

You can get help using the E-service from the Job Market Finland's E-services advice.
