Labour Market Training
The purpose of labour market training is to upgrade and maintain adults’ professional competencies. This training is designed primarily for adults who are unemployed or under the threat of becoming unemployed and who have completed compulsory education. The objective of labour market training is to improve the participants’ chances of finding work. It is often continuing and further education for the professional skills acquired earlier. It is practical in nature and in most cases includes on-the-job learning.
Funded by the labour administration, labour market training is provided free of charge to the participants. For labour market training participants can receive training allowance, which is equal to the unemployment allowance, or labour market subsidy. Application for labour market training is via the Employment and Economic Development Office, which also performs student selection.
