It looks like there are several positions available for MIG welders but you probably have to speak Finnish. There is a permanent position available in Kokkola. You can either fill out the application at their website or call and set up an interview. Good Luck!

Only here you need to take a test and have your "classes" on a paper. Once you're a "class welder" you be good.

So that you can be given work unsupervised... its a bit like a drivers licence kind of thing.

EN 287-1 and ISO 9606 (with quick google-fu)
As a welder you probably know how to weld something, but not everything. By doing qualification tests you have trusted third party that says that you can weld something and have proved it. So not all welders have them, but those who have have easier time in convincing employers and clients that that weld is going to hold and not sink a ship/topple a crane etc.
