In The Netherlands, four out of ten young people (between 15 to 27 years old) are not available for the labour market. This group of young unemployed comprise those who are not pursuing an education, those not looking for a job and not available for work.

The report released by Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) highlighted that these 75,000 young people virtually have no chance to participate in the labour market. This particularly applies to young women. According to the study, 37% of this group claim disability and disease as their main reasons for their unemployment status.

Women give family or household as major reasons for being unemployed. However, there is a decline in this trend, as CBS shows that 44% of women gave these reasons in 2005, and only 24% in 2014.

The study also noted that factors of illness and disability are increasingly being cited as reasons for unemployment.

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".
