Our students sharing their stories

“I think Eduployment is a good option for people who don’t know the language and want to live and work in the Netherlands. Because it has an online course with flexibility that adapts to individual rhythms. It also offers accommodation, depending on the city it can be a big challenge to find something on your own. In short, Eduployment gives the boost to start your life in a new country.”

“If you’re a nurse looking for a seamless move to the Netherlands, Eduployment is your ultimate partner! From day one, they were by my side—starting with my very first Dutch lesson, guiding me through the BIG registration process, and even helping me secure my own apartment in the Netherlands. Moving abroad can be overwhelming, but with Eduployment’s support every step of the way, the transition felt smooth and stress-free. Their team made what seemed daunting into an exciting journey!”

“The teachers and management of Eduployment were always available to answer questions. I had some difficulties feeling at home in the Netherlands. The aftercare offered by Eduployment made this a lot easier. They guided me throughout my whole two-year contract.”

“It is pleasant that Eduployment supports me still. We recently moved into a very nice apartment. Eduployment was there to help us move. Someone even came by with a screw driver to help us assemble some cabinets, and a pipe wrench to connect the washing machine.”

“The collaboration with Εduployment started about two years ago. Within a year I was able to speak and understand Dutch at a good level. After arriving in the Netherlands, the challenges I faced were many, but step by step and with patience, I can proudly say that one year later I have managed to achieve many of my goals and, most importantly, I have slowly gained the confidence I needed to grow professionally! During this time, Εduploymet supported me every time I needed it. Here’s to what’s to come next!”

“Dutch is a bit difficult at first, but it is possible! You have to focus on it. Learning Dutch should be your job; you should spend a lot of time learning a new language. I’m glad I decided to learn Dutch with Eduployment.”

“I was among the first group to be trained by Eduployment. We received excellent guidance and were able to make a good start with our Dutch employer. Some of my colleagues are still working there. I always wanted to work in forensic psychiatry. Thanks to my good knowledge of Dutch, help from Eduployment and the start in the Dutch nursing home, I succeeded.”

“I really like this job, because here every day is a challenge and that’s what I like. After I started, I passed the national knowledge test for triage assistant within five weeks. My audits are good and, in the meantime, I have also obtained my diploma. I am very satisfied with what I have achieved. The free language course from Eduployment was a very good investment!”

“The support of Eduployment was much needed, because we had no idea about the Dutch system. This support meant a lot to me, because most procedures require several steps that are difficult to solve on your own. Furthermore, the Eduployment team visited us a lot in the beginning to talk to us about how things were going and if we had any questions. That is very nice.”

“Eduployment has helped me get through this period very well, by offering lots of practical help, personal support and a solid track. Also, my colleagues who entered this programme with me in 2003 have meant a lot to me and we still keep in touch.”

“Are you a nurse looking for something new? Perhaps a new scenery or an unforgettable experience? Then Eduployment is your ultimate partner! Eduployment helped me during my move to the Netherlands. From day one they were by my side, starting from my first Dutch lessons, guiding me through the BIG registration process and even helping me secure my apartment here in the Netherlands. This for me was an overwhelming transition in my life, I’ve always stayed in one place, always seen the same things and experienced the same experiences. However, with Eduployment’s support, they gave me an opportunity not only to see what the world offers but also to broaden my future and help me grow as a nurse in the world of healthcare.”

“Respect at work, in everything, is important to me. Respect is a value, but also a way of behaving. The way in which, for example, patients or clients behave towards nurses. It’s the way a person talks and does something. And yes, the way you make someone else feel.”

“My experience with Eduployment’s student conversations is positive. I think it’s a good idea to practise your speaking skills and at the same time get to know your fellow students better. I learned the most via this new way of learning.”

“Thanks to Eduployment, I not only learnt a new language but also discovered a world full of opportunities and growth!”

“I have learned a lot from my cooperation with Eduployment and we are certainly not finished yet. And they can also help me with my specialisation trajectory. It was a moment of luck that I got to know Eduployment. I always say, I was in the right place at the right time in 2017 at that information meeting at the university in Thessaloniki.“

“Soon the results came in, and I passed! Then I got a BIG registration. Pretty soon after I became a nurse. I was really satisfied with how fast everything went. From the moment that I passed my exams until the moment I was a nurse. I thought I’d have to wait at least six months!”

“It was nice to be supported by Eduployment during the move. Someone came by to help us assemble our furniture. They even installed our washing machine! I remember coming to Amsterdam in April. Eduployment also helped me a lot then, with finding my first flat here, and also with the move. We had to spend a night in a hotel, which was paid for by them, very sweet.”
