Social employment and employment representative service
Tyke offers social employment as a service. Social employment is guided work at Tyke's workshop (Lensun Pooki), which undertakes a variety of subcontracted work. The aim of social employment is to maintain, revive and consolidate work skills as well as open avenues for the long-term unemployed to enter the open labour market. Through this service clients may be placed to work in one of Tyke's production units or at an external company.
The City of Rauma contracts Tyke for these social employment-related work activities. Working-age pensioners can be directed to this service through the instructor of social rehabilitative work for the City of Rauma.
