Don't worry, it's okay if you haven't found a job within 6 months! 1 out of 3 mentees participating in the program will find a job within 6 months and 7 out of 10 mentees will find a job within 12 months. And mentees who have not found jobs also experience many other benefits from the program. This way, they know the Dutch labor market better, are more confident and know better how to apply.

In addition, it is good to know that a large majority of the duo remains in touch after 6 months in a duo. The connection has been made, so many mentors and mentees keep seeing each other.

If you feel like you no longer need help from your mentor after finding a job, we can always stop the program earlier in consultation. However, it can be very nice to still have contact with your mentor during the first period in a new job.

Our mentoring program isn't just for newcomers. It is intended for young people with a migration background of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation. This means: young people who themselves were born outside the European Union, but also young people whose parents or grandparents were born outside the European Union. Why? The fact that you have a migration background causes more difficulties in the labor market. That has been statistically proven. With our program, we are working on equal opportunities for all.

My parents were born in Morocco, but I was born in the Netherlands. Can I participate in the program?

After participating in an information session, you will meet a DUO for a JOB coordinator. We then want to get to know you a little better and learn more about your background, your expectations and your personality. After this conversation, we will look for the mentor who is best for you!

Exactly how long this takes depends on your profile and the mentors that are available. We always arrange a first meeting where you and the mentor get to know each other. After that, if you both decide you want to move on together, you will officially start your duo for a maximum of 6 months.
