The renovation of the town hall begins
During this summer, the 1st floor of Äänekoski town hall will start to be renovated to provide more office space for the employment services. The other workplaces in the Northern Central Finland employment area will be in Laukaa, Viitasaari and Saarijärvi, where necessary changes will also be made. In addition, customers are offered a face-to-face service to all the municipalities in the North-Central Finland employment area.
During the renovation, Äänekoski's employment services (municipal trial) operate in the premises almost as usual. Äänekoski's employment services are also open throughout the summer. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the renovation.
Building vitality
The central goal of the TE24 reform is to bring services closer to customers. Municipalities can more easily offer customers targeted services that suit the needs of the local labor market. The goal is a service structure that promotes the rapid employment of employees in the best possible way and increases the productivity, availability, effectiveness and versatility of work and business services. Equal access to services is taken into account in the reform. The task of TE services is to offer customers services that support job search and employment as well as business activities.
Employment builds vitality. We want to create conditions for employers and employees to meet, and through that to get skilled labor for companies and increase the area's vitality.
We are doing something together that has never been done before. Read more and follow the preparation of the Northern Central Finland employment area from our website here.
