Vantaa's summer entrepreneurship program for young people (In Finnish)

Thank you for supporting a Vantaa youth by offering a summer job and valuable work experience. You play an important role in the young person’s life by offering him or her a potentially first experience in working life.

Remember to account for the issues below when hiring a young person.
 

• The financial support paid to the employer amounts to €300 / summer employee. The aim of the summer-job voucher is to compensate for the employer’s hiring expenses.
• The employer must offer the young person at least 60 working hours between May 1 and September 30, 2026 to be entitled to compensation for the summer-job voucher.
• The young person's minimum wage shall be €500 / 60 hours of work (€8.33 / hour), unless the collective labor agreement of the field in question dictates a higher salary. Holiday compensation may not be included in the minimum gross income. If the young person works more, the salary must be higher, too.
• There will be 1 summer-job voucher / young person / year.
• The employer does not have to be a registered Vantaa resident. However, the employer must have a Finnish business ID.
• The employer cannot be a private household, city/municipality, a wellbeing services county, the government, or a public real-estate company.
• The employer should use the collective labor agreement of the field as salary basis, as well as draw up a written contract of employment.
• The employer should also be aware of the Labor Conditions Act as regards young employees.
  For instance, inducting a young person into his/her work tasks is to be performed with special care.

• Remember to write a certificate of employment for the young person, so that he or she can utilize it in future job seeking.
