There is a tiny bug in the system that sometimes doesn’t recognize and accept what you are filling in. It helps when you take the last few letters or numbers away and retype them in. Normally it also works better if you write in the information, rather than copy paste it in.
Remember, when you log in to the system with your Suomi.fi ID! If you don’t have the authorization to act on behalf of your company the system will not find your company on the system.
Luckily it is easy to apply and get the authorization. Apply though the links below for the authorization called Avustushakeminen.

After a successful summer job, many young people have continued to work for the same employer!
