Activities supporting employment for people with disabilities

Job Coaching Luotsaamo provides job coaching for Vantaa and Kerava residents who are clients of disability services, adult social work or employment services. The aim is to support the client's employability by providing a safe and learning-friendly working environment. Another aim is to create further pathways to the open labour market together with the client.

The work activities of Luotsaamo include laundry, catering support and institutional care tasks. Our skilled counsellors help our clients with questions and problems in working life and introduce them to their work tasks.

You can work at Luotsaamo on a pay subsidy, work try-out or apprenticeship or thorough assisted or rehabilitative work activities. We also offer internships for language trainees and students at special vocational schools. A plan and goals for the period are created for the client. Job Coaching Luotsaamo uses the client and patient information system Apotti to monitor the achievement of the goals through daily entries.

You can apply for the service through Job coaching Virtaamo or employment services.

Job Coaching Virtaamo provides job coaching with the aim of finding paid work that matches the client's skills, wishes and ability to work. The job coaching is personalised and follows a supported employment model, providing guidance and support in job search and orientation as well as support for the employer in employment-related matters. The client's work ability and skills are assessed throughout the process with the client. Both the jobseeker and the employer can receive coaching free of charge.

Job Coaching Virtaamo also aims to raise awareness among employers of the opportunities for employing partially disabled people in the open labour market. The means include visiting and contacting companies through various channels and participating in networking and recruitment events.

In addition to paid work, the job coaching may include work try-outs granted by the TE Office or local government pilots, supported work activities and group job coaching.
