Organising a Work in employment event/recruitment fair in Tuusula

Work in Tuusula recruitment fairs could become a traditional Tuusula event, which could be held in August, for example, when many summer and seasonal jobs come to an end, people move on to school, and companies have recruitment needs in September. Such events have been organised in other municipalities and bring all parties together, thereby avoiding the problem of mismatches. With the number of immigrants increasing and disasters such as the one in Ukraine, it would be good if the municipality of Tuusula could react quickly to changes and have a concept already in place.

The employment event is intended for all job seekers, but refugees in particular are welcome to come and find out about local job offers. For example, people fleeing Ukraine have little experience of the local network and labour market, but a great desire to find work. Employment is an important source of well-being for them, as it enables them to regain control of their lives and move out of their host families or refugee centres. Employment is also an important part of integration and makes economic sense for society.

The event could be held at any suitable location, such as an educational institution. Possible partners would include Tuusula Employment Services, Keuda Tuusula, Tuusula Immigrant Services, the Central Uusimaa Employment and Economic Development Office, and local businesses and educational institutions. The aim of the event is to bring together job seekers and local companies in Tuusula and to facilitate the entry of immigrants into the labour market in Tuusula. Another aim is to focus on integration. The event also provides an opportunity to raise the profile of Tuusula and local companies. The event programme could include training or guidance related to working life, as well as workshops, for example.
