Jobs As A Nurse – The Eduployment Programme

In some countries, jobs as a nurse are scarce. However, not in the Netherlands. The Dutch are currently dealing with a shortage of professional caretakers. That is why we, at Eduployment, developed and implemented an educational programme that prepares foreign nurses for various positions in the Dutch healthcare as well as possible.

Regardless of whether you want to work with elderly clients in nursing homes or provide care and support in general hospitals or private clinics, we’ve got just the right job for you. To ensure a successful nursing career in Holland, you’ll first need to understand the language and healthcare protocols. And that’s what the educational programme is for.

The Eduployment Programme, as it’s called, provides you with all the knowledge and tools needed to apply for one our your dream jobs as a nurse. Interested? Read more about our programme and discover all our opportunities!

The Eduployment Programme summarized

As a certified nurse you understand the importance of flawless communication with clients and patients. That’s why our Eduployment Programme starts with an introductory course in the Dutch language, given in your own country. Upon completion, you’ll be invited for a 5-month paid introductory period in the Netherlands.

During this time you’ll get to know your future colleagues. You’ll also perform some Activities of Daily Living for our clients, for which you will be paid accordingly. Also, we’ve arranged everything in terms of housing. Since you won’t work for more than 5 days in a row, there’s plenty of time left to explore the Netherlands. After the paid introductory period, you’ll decide if you want to continue to work here and grow into a more responsible role.

The second period

The second period of the programme is all about mastering the Dutch language even better. You’ll follow an advanced course until you have the appropriate vocabulary and skills to pass a state examination. Passing the exam is necessary for requesting a Dutch nursing registration that makes you able to apply for jobs as a nurse in all kinds of healthcare institutions.

At Eduployment, we think personal growth is important. So, after you’ve found your ideal position, we continue to offer possibilities to further grow into your profession by specializing in different disciplines of nursing.

Real stories from our students

Ana Munaiz

“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.”

Sylvia Agarici

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!”

Matthias Christen

“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.”

Tonia Karapidaki

“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.”

Altea Koutsiouki

“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!”

Inês Ramos

“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.”

Asta Kuodiene

“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.”

Ágnes Hajas

“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!”

Alberto Soto

“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.”

Eglė Skersienė

“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.”
