The service centre for continuous learning and employment promotes the competence development of working-age people and the availability of skilled labour. The centre analyses the competence and labour market needs of working life, finances education and training intended for working-age people, develops information, guidance and counselling services and supports regional and other cooperation. The service centre also participates in the work to develop a digital service package for continuous learning. 

The Act on a Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment entered into force on 1 September 2021. The service centre for continuous learning and employment serves as a separate organisational unit for the Agency reporting directly to the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. 

SECLE operates as a separate organisational unit under the Finnish National Agency for Education. SECLE employs around 15 people, most of whom work in expert positions within for instance anticipation, financing applications and guidance services.
