Project Sipoo - Digital Service Design to Support Employment
The partner
Sipoo is a modern and agile municipality with a rapidly growing population of 21 000. Sipoo borders Helsinki and Vantaa to the east and is known for the Sipoonkorpi National Park and the extensive archipelago on the coast of the Baltic Sea.
The challenge
The network of various employment schemes is seen as confusing by employers, job seekers and experts alike. A simplified support scheme network would benefit all parties involved. Meanwhile, there exists a national challenge of talent misalignment that continues to puzzle the experts: job seekers and prospective employers don’t meet.
Sipoo wants to be a front runner in modernising its employment services to set an example on a local level. The municipality is thus looking into service design.
- How could service design redesign the municipality's employment support services and solve the talent misalignment problem?
The objective
The objective of this project is to produce research-based yet practical insights into how the municipality of Sipoo can utilize service design to develop and digitalise its employment support services.

Palvelumuotoilua kolmesta kulmasta: opiskelijat tutkivat Sipoon kunnan työllistymispalveluita
Kolme maisteriopiskelijaa perustieteiden, taiteiden ja suunnittelun sekä kauppakorkeakoulun aloilta osallistuivat Aalto Thesis -yhteistyöprojektiin Sipoon kunnan kanssa.
Aalto Thesis is a programme for an integrated project-based and work-life oriented Master’s thesis, executed as a part of a multidisciplinary student team. In the programme, a group of 2-4 students from different Aalto Schools is formed to jointly solve a multidimensional challenge given by a real work-life partner. Each student writes an individual thesis from the perspective of their field, guided by their supervisor, but the topics of all the students are connected through a common challenge.
