So I'm living in Finland and looking for work. I knew it would be tough and take some time and luckily I'm being supported by my husband while I try to find something. I've registered at the job centre and have been applying for all sorts, online, mostly office work. I've some experience in the service industry so I thought about applying for a position in a cafe but it required a license. I remember hearing something about this before but google is letting me down. Do I need a license or some sort of training before I can work in the food industry or is it only certain places where this is necessary? And where can I get this license?
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter!
* EDIT/UPDATE I have found https://alcoholpassport.fi for working with alcohol and https://hygienepassport.fi/hygieniapassi for working with food but would appreciate any more input on whether it's worth investing in these just in case I get a job offer in a bar, restaurant or cafe.
License for cafe work?

Re: License for cafe work?
This is required for the handling of any non packaged foods. All restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments require it.
