Joint procurement training
Joint procurement training is labour market training that the employment authority can organise together with the employer, the commissioner of the person intending to become an entrepreneur or the company transferring its business rights so that they participate in the funding of the training.
As an employer, you can organise labour market training to increase the professional competence and capabilities of current or future personnel. You can arrange joint procurement training when the training is targeted at employees in your service or temporary agency workers, persons hired for your service or persons laid off or dismissed from your service.
Joint procurement training may also be aimed at you as an entrepreneur when you are starting a business.
Requirements
The employment authority will investigate whether the prerequisites for the training are met and whether there is a need for training.
The organisation of joint procurement training requires that the company contributes to the costs of the training. The employer’s and the employment authority’s contributions to the total price of the training depend on who the training is intended for.
If the joint procurement training is intended for employees or temporary agency workers employed by the employer or temporary agency workers whose purpose is to continue working for the employer, the contributions from the total price of the training, excluding VAT, are determined on the basis of the number of employees employed by the employer and the employer’s annual turnover or balance sheet.
Joint procurement training is not to be used for the financing of regular orientation and personnel training for which the employer is the cost bearer or of training that employers must organise in order to comply with the national training standards.
If you intend to become an entrepreneur, you can organise joint procurement training to increase your entrepreneurial capabilities if you have few commissioners as an entrepreneur or if you intend to acquire entrepreneurship rights from another company.
