The administrative branch of the Ministry of Transport and Communications creates sustainable growth, wellbeing and security through information and future connections. Well-functioning con-nections are part of society's comprehensive security, and the Ministry's administrative branch plays an important role in ensuring security and operational reliability. The sector is responsible for critical infrastructure that is important for the functioning of society. Through the Ministry's work, we want to make sure that digitalisation and the data economy create sustainable growth and strengthen the trust-based society. that the future transport system is safe, knowledge-based and sustainable; that data-based transport services are efficient and meet customers' needs and that digital connections and the transport network improve Finland's competitiveness and international accessibility.

The management themes of the administrative branch are the organisation's ability to change, re-silience and systemic thinking. The Ministry employs approximately 180 ministries whose daily work is guided by the fairness, courage and cooperation of our values. As your potential future employer, we hope that you too will consider these issues important.

Who are we?
