Kela’s Vocational rehabilitation
Have you faced challenges in your working life or studies? Have you thought about how you could improve your work ability to return to working life?
Kela’s vocational rehabilitation helps you find the right path and supports you in developing your career!
This type of rehabilitation may be for client whose health or overall situation is such that needs individual coaching to help find a job, occupation or education. The coach can also help client find gainful employment or become self-employed.
To get into rehabilitation, clients must fill in the application form for vocational rehabilitation. Submit the medical statement B if doctor has not already submitted it to Kela. If necessary, client’s doctor will recommend rehabilitation, and write a statement on it (medical statement B). (Note! 16–29 years olds need not supply a doctor’s statement when you apply.) During rehabilitation, client may be entitled to a rehabilitation allowance and reimbursements of travel costs.
The rehabilitation is implemented as an individual service in accordance with your goals.
A work try-out is right for you if your goal is to put together a career plan, choose an education, or set concrete goals for your work.
Job coaching can be for you if you need support in finding employment and your goal is to get a paid job.
Note! This is a Finnish-language service.
You find us in the Setlementtikeskus in Palosaari, Huvilakatu 1.
