Low-threshold social and healthcare counseling and guidance

At Digi- & Duunikulma, we open doors to participation, learning and employment

In HyMy-kylä's low-threshold service, you will be greeted unhurriedly and expertly by the social and health students of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. Our teachers, who are health care professionals, are responsible for the operation. Digi- and Duunikulma's operations are structured according to customers' needs. Digital participation is a multifaceted phenomenon, and confirmation requires mapping the person's current state. When examining a person's participation and employment potential, the recognition of competence, motivation and the effects of environmental factors are highlighted.

In our service offer at the moment

  • Tailor-made groups and workshops that strengthen participation and employment for people in a weak labor market position
  • Digital courage groups to strengthen inclusion and employment: The group's goal can be e.g. finding and expressing one's own strengths and interests. Increasing confidence in the job search and bringing out one's abilities by practicing interaction skills or strengthening the possibilities of getting a job in the form of e.g. simulated job interview workshops.
  • Customized events to promote digital inclusion and employment
