City Executive Board established new Economic Development and Employment division
Vantaa City Executive Board decided in its meeting on October 21 to establish a new economic development and employment division to guide and monitor promotion of the city’s vitality and integration, as well as employment and services for entrepreneurs.
As the responsibility for arranging TE services transfers from the state to the municipalities as of January 1, 2025, the City of Vantaa will become an employment area of its own. In its meeting on October 21, the city executive board ratified the alterations to the management charter required by the change. The alterations to the management charter will enter into force on January 1, 2025.
The employment and integration service area continues to be responsible for Vantaa’s employment and integration services, but its tasks will be revised to comply with the new legislative tasks.
