Reintegration assistance provides more work opportunities

People on welfare who get help, with job application training for example, are more likely to find work, according to research by the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (central bureau for statistics, CBS).

Of aid recipients that could make use of the so-called reintegration facility last year, more than 22 percent are employed. Of beneficiaries who received no such assistance, only 8 percent are now back to work.

Municipalities decide whether someone gets the chance to use the rehabilitation facility. The criteria vary throughout The Netherlands. It is not just about job training, but also schemes where the track is included, such as wage subsidies or participating sites.

In total, 42 percent of all welfare recipients in 2014 used some form of reintegration support, which comes to more than 172 thousand people. It appears that the provision is generally used slightly more often by younger people, for men, and for people who have not been on welfare for so long. It has not been investigated whether the outflow from the assistance also quickly lost their jobs or if they are still in employment.

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".
