Personnel training

With labour market training, you can train experts to meet the needs of one or more companies. Labour market training is a good way to recruit new employees or develop the skills of personnel. Labour market training is typically organized for sectors that have a shortage of skilled labour.

Labour market training can be organized in cooperation between the labour authority and the employer, in which case the employer is involved throughout the process. The employer gets to choose the people who will participate in the training and possibly be hired later for the workplace.
