Pellavatehtaankatu office to close as Tampere opens walk-in points at Tullintori and Kanslerinrinne
Tampere will close the Pellavatehtaankatu employment office on 16 November and open new walk‑in advice points at Tullintori from 11 November and at Kanslerinrinne from 1 December.
Tampere is reorganising employment services in central districts this autumn. The Pellavatehtaankatu office will close on 16 November, while new walk-in points open at Tullintori on 11 November and at Kanslerinrinne on 1 December. The changes were reported by local paper Tamperelainen.
From 16 November, customers who used the Pellavatehtaankatu site will be directed to other city service points. Jobseekers are advised to check the address on any appointment notice before they travel.
The Tullintori shopping centre advice point opens on 11 November and will accept visitors without appointment on weekdays from 9:00 to 16:00, on a queue basis. Many matters can also be handled by phone, and the city urges people to use its phone service where possible.
The Kanslerinrinne 1 (Pinni A) office opens on 1 December to expand coverage, but it will not replace the closed Pellavatehtaankatu site.
International clients can visit International House Tampere on Rautatienkatu without an appointment. Under-30s can use services at Ohjaamo on Hammareninkatu. Officials say the reshuffle aims to make services more accessible and streamline visits for jobseekers across Tampere.
