Independent studies with unemployment benefit means that you can complete full-time studies at an educational institution as a client of employment services. Sometimes independent study can help you find work and integrate faster.
Independent studies can be

- preparatory education for upper secondary school
- preparatory vocational education
- qualifying studies for example for physicians
- Finnish or Swedish language studies.
The studies must be in Finnish or Swedish. If the studies are included in social orientation, they may be in your native language.
Support can be granted for studies that constitute a coherent whole for a maximum of 24 months. If the aim of the studies is to complete the syllabus of basic education, support can be granted for up to 48 months. To receive unemployment benefit, you must make progress in your studies as agreed in your integration plan.
Proceed as follows
If you are planning your studies or have already applied to study, contact the employment authority in your area immediately and ask whether it is possible for you to study independently with unemployment benefit.
