Job Club

Jobclub Program

πŸš€ For participants ready to take the next step.

Who Is This Program For?

The Jobclub is designed for newcomers who have been educated or qualified in their home country but cannot immediately start working at the same level in the Netherlands. Most participants speak Turkish, English, and/or Dutch (at least at B1 level). You are likely one of them: motivated, open to learning, and truly ready to take action.

🎯 Our goal is clear: We hand you the fishing rod and teach you how to fish!

πŸ’Ό How Does the Jobclub Work?

Over 12 weeks, you complete a clear and structured program built around three main themes. Throughout the process, you make step-by-step progress by receiving assignments, hands-on training, and feedback. You can track all your progress in your personal work file.

🀝 Guidance, Flexibility, and Locations

Our mentoring and peer support system matches you with former participants who are already working in the Netherlands. Since they have personally experienced the steps to be taken in this process, they show you the most accurate path. One-on-one (1-on-1) coaching support is also provided when needed.

The program is scheduled in the evenings and on weekends to be compatible with language lessons. Most of the lessons are given face-to-face on weekends at different locations of the institution:

πŸ“ Groningen, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Veenendaal, Arnhem

If necessary, lessons can also be followed online by mutual agreement. Theoretical training in the evening hours is conducted entirely online.
