About Us

Who We Are

We’RHERE (We are High Educated Refugee Employee), founded in 2019, is a social platform that develops unique projects to help highly educated refugees and immigrants newly arriving in the Netherlands continue their careers in line with their own potential.

Our Peer-Support Methodology

Cyclical Training & Coaching

Our methodology is based on the principle of peer-support: the coaches and trainers providing education and guidance are themselves from the same community and have shared similar experiences. This way, each previous group mentors and supports the next incoming group.

Professional Synergy

Alongside this valuable foundation work, we collaborate in full synergy with professional institutions, companies, and domain experts to carry out unique projects that solidify the career steps of our participants.

A Unique Model in the Netherlands

This system—a combination of an NGO foundation, corporate partnerships, and an accredited training center—is the only one of its kind in the Netherlands.
