Gift a YTK membership!
Act now! Special batch of YTK gift card templates available for recent graduates
We are often asked how to donate a YTK membership to a recent graduate. Many people want to remind young people at this point that there will be ups and downs in working life, and that it is important to prepare for these in advance.
Membership in the fund is something so personal that only the individual themselves can join. This means no one else can register another person as a member. That’s why this year, we’ve made a card template that you can use to offer to pay someone’s annual membership fee to the fund. This year’s gift card is very special, illustrated by @pieruperse, known for their Instagram meme account. There are only 500 available, so be quick!
Here’s how it works:
- Order a gift card template from us and receive it free of charge.
- Ask the recipient to become a member at ytkpalvelut.fi/en/become-a-member and forward the membership invoice to you.
Remember! To become a member of YTK, you must be in a working relationship, e.g., a summer job.
Articulate your skills and stand out from the crowd
Want to impress your future employer or showcase your skills in an interesting way? YTK Spark’s job search coaching helps you identify and articulate your skills. You will also receive examples of how you can transfer your skills to new tasks or fields.
The work experience program is a big deal for young people – could your organization offer a work experience placement?
Did you have a work experience program at school? A day or a week when you got to know working life? Many people remember that time as fun, interesting, maybe even educational.
Could your organization be interested in offering work experience placements on the TET.fi platform? The service was developed by the Children and Youth Foundation with the aim of connecting young people and employers. Offering a work experience placement is a truly responsible act and also improves your employer image.
YTK Worklife is supporting young people’s introduction to working life. In collaboration with the Children and Youth Foundation, we will be publishing content that strengthens young people’s working life skills and belief in their own future. We will publish our first content in the beginning of the fall – stay tuned!
Is your fixed-term job ending for the summer?
Summer is typically the peak season for fixed-term employment. The hotel and restaurant industry and the construction industry in particular attract a lot of people during the summer. In some sectors, however, the trend is reversed and fixed-term work may end for the summer. In such cases, it is important to be aware of the effects of staggering and the working condition on income security.
Have change negotiations begun at your workplace?
Change negotiations can cause concern, even if they do not always lead to terminations. However, if staff numbers are reduced for production-related or financial reasons, employees have rights that they should be aware of.
How do change negotiations proceed? Who participates in them?
If you become unemployed or laid off…
