In March 2020 the Ministry of Education and Culture appointed six national Youth Work Centres of Expertise. These Centres of expertise consist of a contract-based consortium of two or more co-implementers.

Main goal of these centres is to develop and promote basic and special expertise in youth-related issues as well as expert and other services in youth-related fields by producing, compiling and sharing knowledge and information on young people, youth work or youth policy.
