Familiarize yourself with the terms!
Job centre, employment office or employment district?
The beloved child has many names, but who are we really, who do the employment services we provide affect, and what should we be called? Are we a job agency, an employment office, a former TE office, or something else entirely?
An employment area means a joint employment service formed by one or more municipalities. If an employment area has several municipalities, one of the municipalities is usually responsible for organizing services for all municipalities in the employment area. In the employment area of northern Central Finland, services are organized from Äänekoski, but the services are equally intended for residents of Hankasalmi, Kannonkoski, Karst, Kinnula, Kivijärvi, Konnevete, Kyyjärvi, Lauka, Pihtipuda, Saarijärvi, Uura and Viitasaari.
The TE office, or the Employment and Economic Development Office, no longer exists. TE services and municipal experiments ended at the end of 2024, and employment areas began operating. Although the Äänekoski TE office or municipal experiment still sometimes comes up in residents' conversations, such a service no longer exists. The Northern Central Finland employment area now operates in Äänekoski and the 13 municipalities in the area.
But don't worry, whether you call us a job agency, employment office or employment district, we support and advise all job seekers, entrepreneurs and employers, whether it's unemployment, a change in industry, layoffs, dismissals or other changing situations.
