Owning Your Training/Education Savings Jar

Many workers have a savings jar to pay for a training/education. But your boss manages these jars,and that needs to change, says the Social Economic Council (SER). It is not the company but the workers themselves that must determine where they can spend their education money. In this way, if necessary, they can move easily to another position or job.
Money is often readily available for such training/education, but putting this into practice is incredibly complicated. “Different ministries have different budgets and various policies in which to promote lifelong learning, and sometimes they can even working against each other, consciously or unconsciously”, says Martine Braaksma of the Education Council.

More Control Over Your Own Jar

At this moment, it is the employer who is usually determining what happens to that money. “It is important that we do not make decisions on behalf of the minds of people around us. But that they can decide for themselves”, said MariëtteHamer(SER).

This is why everyone should get a personal developmental piggy bank. The employer, government or yourself should have a possibility to transfer and keep this money that is intended for training/educationin a fiscally advantageous manner.

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".
