Service point description
The Uusix workshop operations are designed to empower unemployed Helsinki residents by offering valuable work experiences and skill development opportunities. Our inclusive approach welcomes interns, as well as individuals employed with pay subsidies, to contribute to our vibrant community. Our primary goal is to provide long-term unemployed individuals with work activities that foster the growth of their vocational skills and enhance their employability. Additionally, our workshops extend their support to include individuals with disabilities, offering work try-outs and pay-subsidy services. By focusing on your working life skills, life management skills and vocational abilities, we aim to increase your prospects of securing employment in the open labour market. At Uusix, we boast three distinct work units: Uusix Kyläsaari, Kyläsaari Digital and Remote Services for Work Activities and Uusix Suvilahti. Each unit comprises around 20 departments, providing ample opportunities for learning and acquiring new skills. Whether you have prior work experience or not, our work activities cater to individuals based on their unique skill sets. With a dedicated team of approximately 100 staff members, we create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Through our rehabilitative work activities, we engage around 400-500 participants. Upon completion of our workshops, you will receive a skills certificate, validating your newly acquired expertise. This certificate can prove invaluable when applying for further studies or seeking employment opportunities. In addition to work activities, we organise diverse training sessions, events and exciting excursions, allowing you to explore new realms and broaden your horizons.
