Supported by local universities, governments and businesses, we help internationals build careers and feel at home in the region. Alongside our curated job board, we offer practical career resources, events, and services – from understanding the Dutch labour market and improving your CV to career networking and settling into life in the North.

Please note: As a job platform, we currently do not provide personalized job placement services. Think of us as more like your go-to hub to find job vacancies and job search tips specifically for the Northern Netherlands region.
