Minister of Social Affairs and employment, Lodewijk Asscher has announced that government will invest 120-million Euros over the next two years into the labour market to fight unemployment in the construction sector.

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment announced that the parties have prepared a sector plan for this purpose.

The plan does not create additional employment but instead, better divides the available work. For instance guiding employees to other work, retraining skills and providing apprenticeships using wage subsidy.

The plan was signed in mid-October by the construction industry including; FNV, CNV Professionals, The Building Contractors Federation of the Netherlands, Netherlands Paving Business Association , Association of Water and NVB Builders Association of Developers and Building Contractors.

Job Plans

The job plan became available for employers and unions to appeal to a public contribution on 01 October, 2013. Plans that lead to more work or internships for young people and retaining and coaching of skilled workers at risk for dismissal are half funded by the government. This concerns the joint plans of employer organizations and trade unions.

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".
