Advertise a work trial vacancy
A work trial is an excellent way to test how you work with a potential new employee. For the job seeker, it is an opportunity to get to know a profession and a job that interests them. It is a free service for employers and unemployed job seekers.
A work trial is a practical work placement at the workplace, lasting between 1 and 3 months.

Recruit with an apprenticeship
-
With an apprenticeship, an employee can complete a basic, vocational or specialised professional qualification. In the course of the qualification, skills are demonstrated by means of on-the-job demonstrations. The aim may also be to obtain only one or more parts of a qualification, for example, to supplement previous knowledge. It is also possible to do a summer job as an apprenticeship.
-
The apprentice needs a workplace supervisor appointed by the workplace who has the expertise, motivation and working time resources to guide the apprentice. The employer may be paid a monthly allowance for training the student and guiding their learning in working life. The training allowance paid by the apprenticeship agency is agreed separately for each apprenticeship contract.
-
If an unemployed job seeker is selected as an apprentice, a wage subsidy is available to cover the wage costs. The amount of the wage subsidy is dependent on the job seeker. Once the wage subsidy has been granted, the employer can also apply for a municipal supplement.
Reach out to students and graduates
Do you want to reach out to students from local schools for a traineeship or offer a job to a fresh talent? We can help you find suitable candidates. Alternatively, you can advertise jobs and traineeships yourself, and offer thesis or project work through the educational institutions’ online systems. The service is free of charge for the user.
Electronic recruitment systems in educational institutions
You can reach the graduating talents from Oulu College of Services OPAO and Vocational College Luovi by contacting the Talent Team at BusinessOulu.
