Summer Job Voucher

The Municipality of Joroinen continues to aim at supporting young people in looking for summer jobs on their own initiative.
The purpose of the summer job voucher is to encourage young people to look for summer jobs independently and actively, and to encourage employers to hire young people for the summer.

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

With the summer job voucher, a young person born in 2008–2012 and living in Joroinen can look for a summer job in, for example, a company, an association or an 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 during the summer for one summer job.
The application period for summer job vouchers runs until 31 May 2026.
