JHL’s courses
JHL members are entitled to Finland’s most diverse range of working life training. Develop your occupational competence further, learn more about protection of interests, or take your pick from open UAS courses (UAS = university of applied sciences)!
As our member, you can make use of our diverse range of high-quality courses. The course and event calendar (in Finnish) has all the information about upcoming courses. As a rule, the courses we organise are free for our members. The union will take care of the travel costs, course fees, accommodation, and meal costs. Studying is really worth it!
What can I study?
For our current range, visit the course and event calendar. The selection varies, but we organise diverse courses for many tastes.
Most of our courses take place at our JHL Institute in the Sörnäinen district of Helsinki.
Courses are also organised elsewhere in Finland.
The JHL Institute’s branches are located in Kuopio (Puistokatu 6), Oulu (Mäkelininkatu 31) and Tampere (Rautatienkatu 10, 7th floor).
Some of our courses are only organised online. The open UAS courses are organised online, too.
When you browse the course and event calendar, each course has information on where and how it is organised.
