Employer and business services

Employment services also assist local businesses with employment related issues.

In Janakkala, in addition to the services of the Veturi Business Building, advisory and guidance services are available for recruiting new staff, including information about subsidies that can be received for employment and finding a suitable person. We also support skill development in workplaces.

The list of employment services for employers includes, among other things, recruitment support, career support, employment vouchers, and employment bonuses. We help find a suitable employee for open positions if needed.
