How to apply for unemployment benefits
Thursday 18.9. klo 18–19
This webinar is designed for employees who have moved to Finland and want to understand the Finnish system of unemployment benefits. For example, simply applying for unemployment benefit is not enough — you must also register as an unemployed jobseeker through the E-services on the Job Market Finland website.
The aim of the webinar is to provide you with clear information on what steps to take if you become unemployed. You will also learn how to calculate your daily allowance independently.
The webinar is organized by TJS-Opintokeskus and is free of charge for members of MMA or other Akava unions. Registration for the webinar closes on 15.9.2025.
