A new apprenticeship model is being piloted in the commerce sector – salary increases as degrees progress

The Finnish Commerce Federation and the Service Union United PAM have launched a pilot for the new apprenticeship model. The aim of the pilot, which takes place in technical trade, is to attract students’ interest in technical trade and, thereby, meet the sector’s demand for labour. In addition, the pilot will test whether the new salary model can inspire students to participate in apprenticeship training and encourage companies to offer apprenticeships.
