For students
For many, the most important thing at work is its importance to society. This significance is strongly present in municipal work.
For example, nursing, education and infrastructure maintenance are areas where you don’t need much imagination to see that your work matters.
Why work in the municipality?
One organization - thousands of positions
Another important element in the job is also the opportunity for personal growth and development. In the municipality, you can advance within the field, from one field to another or to supervisory positions without a change of employer. Training for competence development is available.
Responsible management
The municipal sector is also less dependent than the private sector for economic cycles in the short term. Municipalities are responsible employers and investment in the work atmosphere is an important element.

Info about municipal work
A person employed by a municipality or a municipal federation is hired for either an employment relationship or an employment contract. The main difference between an employment relationship and an employment contract is the nature of the legal relationship. The incumbent has a public law relationship with the employer, while the employee has a private law relationship. Tasks involving the exercise of official authority are performed on an employment relationship. Otherwise, the staff will be hired for an employment contract. In municipalities, personnel must have sufficient proficiency in Finnish and/or Swedish to perform their duties.
