WorkDesign – job coaching for persons with partial work ability

Enrolment for WorkDesign ends in November.

• Individual coaching tailored to your work ability
• The opportunity to participate in competence passport or card training: Hygiene Passport, Alcohol Passport, Hot Work Safety Card or Occupational Safety Card
• Voluntary group coaching
• The opportunity for career path coaching
• The coaching primarily takes place in person. Depending on the content of the service, the coaching can also be organised over the phone or virtually. However, at least half of the coaching must be carried out in person either in the facilities of the service provider or in other similar facilities.

In Uusimaa, job coaching is organised for jobseeker customers with partial work ability who have a medical certificate of their partial work ability or who feel that they themselves have partial work ability. The coaching is individual coaching where you will be working with a coach in a goal-oriented manner to find solutions to promote your employment. With the help of the service, you can find new opportunities for continuing your career. The goals can be tailored to your work ability, ranging from part-time and full-time work to work try-outs and studies.

The coaching supports you with preparing job application documents and getting ready for job interviews. The job coaches have information of the employment situation in different industries, and they have contacts with a number of employers. With the coaching, you will be able to discover and showcase your competence and strengths in the job market. The service provider can come with you to the workplace and provide the workplace community with information and support regarding the working of persons with partial work ability.

You do not need to be unemployed to take part in the service. The coaching is free of charge for the participants.

The duration of the coaching is 12 months, at most. You will receive at least 2 hours of the service per month. WorkDesign has two service providers: Eezy and Arffman. The content on their websites is mostly in Finnish, but you will find WorkDesign brochures in English at the bottom of both websites:
