Graduating as a teacher

You should join OAJ immediately when you begin your first job in the training, education or research sector.

If you have graduated as a teacher and have found a job in the field of training, education or research, you can apply for OAJ membership.

You can also join OAJ while studying if you work as a substitute teacher for at least one school semester.

How can I join OAJ?

If you are a member of SOOL when you graduate, apply for official OAJ membership by filling in the online membership form.

If you are transferring to OAJ as a member of SOOL, your SOOL membership will end automatically. If, for example, you begin further studies while you are a member of OAJ, you can no longer become a member of SOOL.

If you are already a member of the Teachers' Unemployment Fund, you must also pay the membership fee for the month in which you resign. This is to ensure that your membership continues without interruptions.
