Services for clients of the local government pilot

The pay subsidy is a discretionary benefit that the TE Office and municipality participating in the local government pilot on employment can grant for the salary costs of an unemployed jobseeker who is their client.
The purpose of the subsidy is to promote a jobseeker’s employment in the open labour market when they lack vocational skills or have a disability or illness that affects their ability to handle certain work tasks. Even if the pay subsidy is granted and paid to the employer, the granting of the subsidy is always based on the service needs of the unemployed jobseeker.

As a client of the TE Office/local government pilot, you can familiarise yourself with working life through a work try-out and get to know more about your vocational choices and career options. You can also participate in a work try-out to support your return to working life after a long absence.
Your work try-out may be related to a field that you are interested in, but you can also participate in the try-out even if you are not sure of your future field. In this case, the work try-out can be organised at e.g. a workshop, where you can try different types of tasks.
