Estonia : Help and advice abroad

Public employment services

The Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund  is the equivalent of the UK’s Jobcentre. There is one central office in Tallinn and 15 regional offices. They handle vacancies, manage the allocation of state unemployment benefits, provide advice and information about searching for work, training opportunities, etc.

Higher education careers support

Some higher education institutions in Estonia do have their own dedicated careers service. The services they offer are comparable with those in UK universities. See for example:

• Estonian Business School
• Tallinn University
• Tallinn University of Technology 
• University of Tartu 

These services are available to international students at the relevant institutions. If you are not studying, it is advisable to contact the relevant institution to check if their services are available to you and if so whether there are any costs to non-students.

Help in an emergency

The British Embassy Estonia is located in Tallinn. They help British visitors in case of emergency situations.

The number to dial in Estonia for police, ambulance and fire services is 112.
