The aim of the project, managed by the South Savo ELY Centre, is to develop and test the Nordic employment service model already in 2021 at the TE Office in Etelä-Savo- the employment of part-workable unemployed people in TE-services- Strengthening partnership competence in TE-services The project will start piloting the implementation of the so-called Nordic employment service model at the South Savo TE Office, as decided by the Government’s budget review. The piloting will be carried out for a group of jobseekers defined by the TE Office of Etelä-Savo. The pilot’s customer group will also be assigned a comparison group of the TE Office’s customers in order to obtain comparable information on the benefits and benefits of different operating methods. According to the Nordic employment service model, there is an intensive period during the first three months of job search, during which the jobseeker is met every two weeks. New value in operations is a closer meeting with customers, more personalised services, more individualised service needs, more efficient customer guidance to services and faster employment and, consequently, shorter periods of unemployment. The second objective of the project is to employ people who are partially capable of working in companies. Part-time unemployed provide a large labour force potential. The project will strengthen cooperation with the work capacity coordinator, regional projects and other actors who support and develop the services of the partially capable. Customers are offered service packages as well as individual service paths, e.g. tailoring work at the workplace to suit the customer’s ability to operate by using various forms of support. The measures form a whole of support and promotion of work capacity and employment, thus enabling employment in enterprises in particular. The clients of the project will be offered a wide range of services purchased and procured in accordance with the JTYPL, as well as services under the responsibility of municipalities, such as health inspections of the unemployed. In addition, provision is made to provide customers with financial management training and other employment promotion services as a purchase service for the project, which, according to JTYPL, cannot be provided with the financing of 32.30.51. The third objective of the project is to strengthen the partnership competence in the TE services. The Ministry of Employment and the Economy has made partnership work a key area of competence in TE-services. Trust arising from the knowledge of partners, different operating methods, cultures, services and joint work in order to achieve common goals is key to good customer results. Building this requires time and coordination, common goals, terms, tools, etc. In partnership work, customers’ real situations, wishes and needs become more visible to the service system. The project will work with job search coordinators in customer work by developing the Nordic employment service model as well as the service process and services for part-time job-seekers. The expertise and services of the entire partnership network can be utilised in customer work. The short and long-term effects of the project include more personalised services, more personalised service needs, more efficient customer guidance to services and faster employment and shorter periods of unemployment. Equipping companies with a skilled workforce. Raising the employment rate in Southern Savo. A better understanding of the services and a joint customer process with the partners in the network. More efficient use of multi-professional services in customer work. Support for work capacity strengthens people’s well-being at work, prevents disability and the resulting social costs and loss of labour input. The customer receives the services they need in a timely manner and their situation does not get any more difficult.
