This programme is designed to give a kickstart to your international career while staying in the Netherlands! This online programme is offered in collaboration with partner universities of Saxion: through online collaboration with students from other countries you will learn the practical career-related matters, gain collaborative experience and build your international network. The programme is offered twice a year.
In collaboration with the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Association of Deventer (MKB Deventer) Saxion Career Services developed a programme which allows Saxion internationals to try what it means to work for a Dutch-based company in the East or Central Netherlands. International students get an intense supervision in creating job application materials, after that they are linked to program mentors – managers of Dutch companies – who guide them to the 1st jobs. The programme included individual consultations, attendance of a network event, workshops and a short internship.
During an event organised by Career Services, I had an insightfull talk with the founder of the NXTLVL Accountants in Deventer, which led to a part-time job as an Audit Assistant.
