Summer Job Voucher

The Municipality of Joroinen continues to aim at supporting young people’s self-directed search for summer jobs.
The purpose of the summer job voucher is to encourage young people to seek summer work independently and actively, and to encourage employers to hire young people for summer jobs.

The value of the summer job voucher is 250 euros and it is intended to cover part of the employee’s wage costs for the employer.

With the summer job voucher, a young person born in 2008–2012 and living in Joroinen can seek summer work, for example from a company, association or organisation that has a valid business ID.
The employer does not have to be from Joroinen, but the workplace must be located in Joroinen.

A young person can apply for only one summer job voucher, which can be used for one summer job during the summer.
The application period for summer job vouchers runs until 31 May 2026.
