Changes to employment service points in Tampere

The Pellavatehtaankatu service point will close in November, and a new advice point for job seekers visiting without an appointment will open at Tullintori shopping centre. In December, a new service point will open in the Pinni A building on the university campus. The new arrangements will affect jobseekers’ service locations in Tampere.

The City of Tampere Employment and Growth Services serves job seekers at several locations in the city centre. Changes will be made to the service point network towards the end of the year.

Pellavatehtaankatu service point will close

The Employment and Growth Services service point at Pellavatehtaankatu 25 will close permanently as of 16 November 2026.

Customers who have previously attended appointments at the Pellavatehtaankatu service point will in the future be directed to other service points. Job seekers should always check the meeting location and address in the invitation they receive before attending their appointment.

A new advice point will open at Tullintori

A new advice point for job seekers visiting without an appointment will open at Tullintori shopping centre on 11 November 2026. The advice point is located at Tullikatu 6, 2nd floor, and is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Customers are served on a first-come, first-served basis.

Many matters handled at the advice point can also be resolved over the phone. Job seekers are therefore encouraged to contact the telephone service first at 040 801 6581 (weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
