Training trial

Training trials allow you to learn more about the educational institution that interests you and about the contents of the training.
If you have difficulties in choosing a profession or field and want to be sure of your plan before applying for training, a training trial is the right service for you. During the training trial, you will get an idea of the requirements of the training and profession in question, so taking part in a trial is a great way to make sure that the field is suitable for you.
The contents of the training trial are customised to suit your individual situation. You get to choose the educational institution in which the training trial takes place. The Päijät-Häme Employment Services will help you make the arrangements with the educational institution on the training trial, its contents, and related guidance.
During the trial, you will be able to attend lessons and have discussions with the teachers and the guidance counsellor. If necessary, you can receive assistance for planning your use of support services for studying.
The maximum duration of a training trial is 10 days at a time. It is possible to organise several training trial periods.
You need to agree with the educational institution on the provision of feedback and possible reporting of absences.
The trials are organised either as individual or group services.
If you are an unemployed job seeker, you can be paid an increased unemployment benefit for the duration of the trial.
