Netherlands Extra Support Tender

When you are young and have just left school it is often difficult enough to get a job. It is also difficult for students to find an internship. The corona outbreak and the measures make it even more difficult. Many employers find it difficult to keep their own staff working. The province of Overijssel has introduced two new schemes to give young people a good start on the labor market aimed at employing young graduates in small and medium-sized businesses and offering work placements and apprenticeships.Continue to invest in personnelDeputy Tijs de Bree for the labor market Finding an internship or first job is difficult especially now. We care about that. The province wants to prevent young people from falling victim to the crisis. The Central Planning Bureau indicated last week that 9-20 of young graduates do not find work. Before the crisis many companies had difficulty finding sufficiently qualified employees. The province of Overijssel wants companies that can continue to invest in new employees and supports this with these schemes. The knife cuts both ways we help young people find work and companies with a qualified workforce to recover strongly from the crisis. Small and medium-sized companies that employ a young person who has graduated from a university of applied sciences or university can receive a subsidy of 10000 euros. For offering an internship to an MBO student 1500 euros can be requested for supervision. A subsidy of 5000 euros can be applied for for guidance of a person who follows a professionally guided learning path apprenticeship workplace. A maximum of two subsidies per entrepreneur applies to both last categories. The subsidy schemes fit in seamlessly with the advice of the Central Planning Bureau to support entrepreneurs who hire young people with the wage costs.Five-point planThe two schemes are part of a broader package of measures to help the labor market recover from the crisis. In addition to measures aimed at young people this so-called Five-Point Plan consists of projects and schemes in the field of training teaching new techniques digitization sustainability coaching from work to work and teaching basic skills language teaching. The province is making 1.2 million euros available for the two new schemes aimed at young people.Smart and clean economyThe province of Overijssel is working on smart and clean entrepreneurs and a powerful regional economy. An innovative business community that gives substance to todays social challenges such as sustainability digitization and social inclusion fits in with this. Even in times of slower economic growth and shrinking employment it is important that companies continue to develop. Sufficient and well-trained professionals see this as an important condition.
