Jobcoach​/Career

Finding (volunteer) work plays a crucial role in participating in society. For refugees who do not yet have a good command of the language, no work experience in the Netherlands and no social network, it is almost impossible to find a job in the short term. In practice, employers often find it difficult to hire a refugee: this requires effort and persuasiveness.

Moreover, it is difficult for employers to actually "find" this target group, to bind it and, where necessary, to offer the right guidance. Here you come as a job coach to look around the corner. You will ensure that there is a connection between refugees and potential employers.

• Guide, support and coach refugees in finding suitable work, whether it is volunteering, a paid job, an internship or perhaps an education.
• Make contact with employers, voluntary organizations and training institutes.
• Conduct intake interviews with refugees and prepare a personal plan of work.

• Help refugees build up a network or expand their existing network.
