Valo-Valmennusyhdistys develops and distributes together with its partners the following service models:
- Valo-Valmennus training model
Valo-valmennus is meant for people, who want to improve their job readiness and complete vocational qualification modules through practical work. Learning takes place in real life working environments, completing real tasks, supported by a coach. The model is used in over 100 organisations across Finland. - Youth Guarantee House
The Youth Guarantee House concept brings together different youth services. The aim is to offer holistic support at the right time to young people at risk of exclusion from society. Young people not in education or in statutory services are offered one to one support. In the long term, the aim is to offer opportunities and solutions in transitioning to education or employment. There are four functioning Youth Guarantee Houses in different cities in Finland. - Towards ordinary life
Towards ordinary life- model offers rehabilitation and training to offenders at different phases of their release. The aim is to support ex-offenders to move towards education and employment. From the releasing offenders’ point of view, this model provides a genuine opportunity to change their lifestyle towards “ordinary life”.
