Youth workshops offer a variety of training and job opportunities for young people at age 17 - 28 in the city of Hyvinkää.

The aim of the workshops is to help young people to realise their individual plans, to promote employment among the young and to make it easier to apply for studies. The workshops are intended for unemployed young people with no vocational training, or for those with vocational training but no work experience.

The duration of the workshop period is six months, but the average duration based on a personalised plan and individual needs is three months. The workshop period includes work at the workshop, work orientation and training. During this period, participants are given individual counselling on career choices and other matters.

“Hope” Youth Workshops of Hyvinkää consist of four workshops with different themes. Our workshops are situated in different locations around the city of Hyvinkää.
