According to the participation Act, 125 thousand jobs must be created for people from the labour market, of which 25 thousand must come from government agencies. In business it seems to be working well, but the government is still running well behind.

Where you would expect that the government would set an example for business, that is not quite the case. The expectation is now that the intermediate targets of 3 thousand additional jobs by 2016 will not be met. The reason? Some government agencies have the issue low on their priority list.


Cuts and reorganisations

A study was conducted by Hans Spigt, appointed by Secretary Klijnsma jobs as Ambassador to the government. He warned in August that the government was already lagging behind its commitment with respect to the business community. Employers in the public sector are too busy handling previous cuts and reorganisations to make room for people with disabilities.

While the municipalities and provinces are well on track, For other sectors, the ambition is present, but there will be little action instead.

Final number of additional jobs

The Ministry of Social Affairs will not draw any conclusions yet, but await the final number of jobs. The commented stating that by June, it will be known how many additional jobs will become available in 2016.

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".
