Let knowledge and talent flourish
Refugees are people with valuable knowledge and qualities. From real doers to highly educated thinkers. Students and professionals who can mean a lot to the Netherlands. But… still few refugees manage to follow an education and find a job at their own level. Our guidance is therefore very important.
We are committed to the development of refugee students and professionals and their integration into the Dutch labor market. We have been doing this since 1948. We represent their interests, give advice and offer guidance and financial support. We share our knowledge and experience with educational institutions, employers and municipalities. Are you in?
