Spouses Meetup

So you found yourself moving to the Netherlands because your partner found a great job opportunity in Groningen, Friesland, or Drenthe. While that’s great news for them, you may also be itching to get back to doing the work you love, or perhaps you’ll use this opportunity to try something new. 

We understand that restarting your career in a new country takes effort, patience, emotional resilience, and new skills that push you outside your comfort zone. However, you’re not alone. There are organizations like the International Welcome Center North (IWCN) and Make it in the North, dedicated to helping internationals overcome these hurdles and feel at home in the Northern Netherlands.

During this event, we will have an interview-style discussion with spouses who have successfully found fulfilling jobs in the Netherlands. They will share their experiences and insights, providing practical tips on how to kickstart your career in the Northern Dutch labor market. We aim to broaden our networks, open our minds to new possibilities, inspire and, most importantly, ensure that everyone feels supported in this journey. 

This free event is your chance to connect, learn, and contribute to shaping future support for spouses. Reserve your spot now via IWCN. We look forward to seeing you!
