Extra millions given to combat Dutch youth unemployment

An extra 17.8 million euros has been made available aimed at combating youth unemployment in The Netherlands.

Secretary of State, Jetta Klijnsma for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment stated that this amount can be used for the ESF-Actie Jeugdprojecten or ESF-Action Youth projects by 35 central municipalities.

Klijnsma made this commitment on Twitter on Tuesday, 24 February on European Job Day. The projects are part of the regional approach to youth unemployment.

Last year, the central municipalities received about 41 million euros from the European Social Fund to support initiatives aimed specifically at young people who are unemployed as a result of the economic crisis. The support will end halfway through this year, but is now extended due to the extra subsidy that has become available. The ESF contribution to the project has increased and this has given municipalities more time to successfully complete ongoing actions.

"The latest figures confirm once again the intractable problem of youth unemployment. Although the economy is recovering, we are not there yet. Too many young people have trouble finding a job. That is primarily difficult for the young people but also for all of us,” stated the Secretary of State.

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".
