This is a pilot! What does that mean?
This is the first time this Career Track from Het Noorden Werkt Door is offered to internationals. That means they’re testing and shaping the program as they go, based on what works best for you. It also means limited spots and a chance to help shape future editions by sharing your experience.
What is the Career Track?
A 5-session track for internationals who want to work in the North of the Netherlands. You’ll learn to:

- navigate the Dutch application process: from interviews and employment conditions to dealing with rejection;
- connect directly with employers in the region.
The sessions are interactive and hands-on. You’ll not only learn from experts, but also from each other through group discussions and peer feedback. Since this is a pilot, the program is free, fully in English, and tailored to help you take the right steps toward building your career in the North.
