    The group-based job search coaching is generally provided with a hybrid model: the first and last days are always in the form of in-person work, and there may be up to three (3) remote work days during the week. The service duration covers the group coaching, the month during which the group coaching ends, and the following two calendar months. The group coaching is held on weekdays from 9.00 to 15.00. The in-person days are held in the service provider’s premises located at Ruoholahdenkatu 14.

    The goal is to put a stop to unemployment, find a job, or start training or a work try-out as soon as possible or gain the skills necessary to participate in the aforementioned solutions. Additionally, you will have a realistic and practical plan on how to proceed at the end of the coaching.

    The overall duration of the Job Path Coaching service is 2–3 months, and it includes: group-based job search coaching (8–12 people, a minimum of eight participants) lasting for five days, during which the group will discuss topics such as the following:
