Get free training! JHL offers versatile training for working life

11.4.2024

JHL offers a unique membership benefit: the widest range of working life training in Finland. And what’s more, most of it is free!

Are you a new shop steward and want to get basic knowledge of your responsibilities? Do you want to deepen your knowledge of your occupational sector or update your skills? Or do you want to learn more of JHL’s activities for the youth? Come to JHL’s courses!

JHL offers a wide range of courses for all members. Training is mostly free of charge, and your trade union JHL will take care of travel expenses, course fees, accommodation and meal expenses.

Some courses are paid as working time. Paid courses have been agreed on together with employers. Some courses are meant for shop stewards, others deal with occupational safety and health and co-determination. Studying is really worth it!

Picks from course offerings

Places are still available in training in autumn 2024!

Explore the course offerings and sign up in the course calendar

Sign up in time

Application period for the courses ends 5 weeks before the beginning of the course. You will receive a notice of admission about one month before the course.

Did you know that JHL Institute is a part of the national training system? You can have some of the trainings recorded in the national Studyinfo register if you want.

JHL also offers generous support for your open UAS studies.
