Instructions

Young person

• Find out about possible summer jobs on different job search sites. You should visit at least Työmarkkinatori's Kesäksi duuniin - website, where you can find targeted summer jobs in this area. Also check out duunitori.fi and monster.fi. You can also ask for jobs in person. Tell employers about the possibility of a summer job voucher.

• At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of companies that have employed young people with the summer job voucher in previous summers. You can also ask Ohjaamo for tips on possible jobs. Best of luck in your job search! 

• When you have agreed on a summer job with your employer, fill in an electronic summer job voucher application with your employer. Each city and municipality has their own application form, so be aware that you fill in the right one.

• The summer job vouchers are granted in the order in which the applications are received. You must have a job agreed when you apply for the voucher. Vouchers cannot be reserved. The application period begins on 3 February 2025. Once Ohjaamo has processed your application, you will receive the voucher by e-mail. The voucher is also sent to the employer’s e-mail.
