This Year 1,200 Additional Jobs at VDL Nedcar

Employment in Limburg is getting a big boost. VDL car manufacturer NedCar in Born will make the new Mini Countryman, which will create up to 1,200 new jobs.
Currently, some 4,000 people work at VDL Nedcar. At the end of 2012 when VDL took over Nedcar, there were still about 1,500. With an extra 1,200 new jobs there, the number of factory workers will soon be more than tripled.
In Born VDL Nedcar makes the ordinary Minis since 2014, and in late 2015 the Mini Cabrio for the BMW Group. The Countryman is a new addition. The production of the new model starts before the end of this year.
Salvation Through VDL
NedCar has a capacity to produce up to 200,000 cars per year. The Mini Countryman will be only produced in Born; in the future it will also be available as a plug-in hybrid version. The Limburg car factory is not connected to a single car maker, but it is open for orders from all brands.
In 2012, Eindhoven’s industrial group VDL bought Nedcar for a symbolic price of 1 euro from Japan's Mitsubishi. In 2014, the factory was reopened and production of cars was stopped for half a year. Last year the factory contributed significantly to the turnover of the VDL Group by an estimated 2.3 billion Euros.

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.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
