The application for entrepreneurship vouchers for young people begins on Monday, March 3.3rd.
The City of Imatra and the West Saimaa 4H Association support young people's entrepreneurship with entrepreneurship vouchers. The entrepreneurship voucher allows Imatra residents aged 13–28 to try entrepreneurship safely through the 4H entrepreneurial path.
In recent years, the city of Imatra has supported youth employment by offering summer work vouchers and job vouchers for young people in Imatra. The entrepreneurship voucher is a means to go alongside these.
– A young person can be granted either a summer work voucher or an entrepreneurship voucher, but not both, says a special youth worker Mari Tentke.
Six entrepreneurship vouchers are being distributed, and the value of one voucher is 350 euros. The value of the note is allocated to company establishment costs, 4H membership fee, insurance and, for example, material costs of business operations.
In the application phase, there must be a preliminary idea about future business activities
The application for entrepreneurship vouchers is open from 3 to 23.3.2025 March XNUMX. Applications are made online form.
Vouchers are issued based on applications that meet the criteria in order of application.

Kasper Ahl founded a company offering yard and woodwork with a business voucher
14-year-old Kasper Ahl found employment last summer with the help of an entrepreneurship voucher. Ahl's company offered yard and carpentry work.
"I mowed the lawn and did other yard work, among other things," Ahl says.
The solution proved to be effective: there was enough work for the entire summer and no other problems arose.
The first summer as an entrepreneur sparked a spark. The company's operations will possibly continue next summer.
-The best thing about entrepreneurship was the freedom, for example in terms of working hours. I can recommend the entrepreneurship voucher to all hard-working young people.
