Our story

We are Refugee Talent Hub, an employer initiative. Since 2016, we have been bringing refugees and employers closer together with the goal of paid employment. Many employers are eager to utilize the talent and craftsmanship of refugees but find it difficult to connect with them. The same is true for refugees; many are eager to work but struggle to find employment. Being new often means having a small network and difficulty meeting employers.

Our dream is a Netherlands where employers recognize and utilize the talents of refugees, giving them the right opportunities in the job market.

The Value of Work

Employers with a diverse workforce are demonstrably more successful than others. Teams become more innovative through new perspectives, and colleagues learn from each other. As a result, organizations become more agile and future-proof.

For a newcomer, a job is about much more than earning money. Having a job also means structure, social contacts, and the feeling of being needed and belonging. Various studies show that work greatly contributes to rapid integration, self-reliance, and independence.
