A new job and restructuring plan will see the police and defence sectors in The Netherlands receiving around €40 million.

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Economy has set aside €16 million for this plan. Employers and trade unions from both sectors will be paying the rest of the amount.

Spokesperson for Minister Lodewijk Asscher gave the details to The Telegraaf on Wednesday.

According to ANP, the police force employs around 60,000 personnel and from which, approximately 10,000 employees work in supporting roles. The number of supporting jobs will decrease in the coming years to 8,500 but the number of police officers might see a slight increase.

The defence sector also employs approximately 60,000 people and this number is set to decrease to 55,000. However, there is still a need for young employees in this sector.

A significant percentage of trainees from both sectors drop out during the training phase – 20% of police trainees over a four-year period. The new job and restructuring plan is also aimed at limiting these figures. The plan will also look into if workforce mobility is possible between the police and defence.

According to the new plan, more than 160 employees will be trained in technical functions in the defence sector and 200 young people without diplomas have a chance to apply for a technical position.

In addition, 800 mbo students will be given guidance to apply for a position with the police and 175 police personnel will be retrained for another role within the organisation.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
