Minding the gaps – how to secure one’s unemployment benefits in major career changes

Minding the gaps – how to secure one’s unemployment benefits in major career changes                 

Tue 19.11.2024 at 17-18 in Teams

In this webinar we get to learn how to navigate in the Finnish system of unemployment benefits. This can be tricky, when shifting from employee to entrepreneur or back.

The system of unemployment benefits in Finland is complicated in the sense that there is no one universal system for all. There is instead one system for employees and another for entrepreneurs. These systems basically work well, but they don’t always work well together. This means, that in situations, when changing from one system to another – say, for example, initiating a startup after studies or working as an employee, one needs to know, what is a correct procedure on how to do this career change without falling outside the benefit systems. 

Keynote speaker of this webinar Elina Johansson is a lawyer working for KOKO, The Unemployment fund for highly educated. KOKO is the second largest unemployment fund in Finland and has about 270 000 highly educated members, who are working as senior officers or experts.
