Tech Careers in the Netherlands: How to Get In
Thinking about getting into tech in the Netherlands, but not sure where to start?
This career evening is for anyone exploring a move into tech, whether you’re coming from a completely different background, already working in tech and looking to upskill, or simply trying to understand what employers in the Netherlands are looking for.
Together with UpLeveled, TechMeUp and KGT Consulting, we’re bringing together people who can give practical advice from different sides of the industry.
During the evening, we’ll cover:
• How to get hired in the Netherlands
What recruiters look for, how to improve your CV and LinkedIn, and what can help you stand out.
• How to find your route into tech
You don’t necessarily need a traditional tech background. We’ll talk about different entry points, skills and training options.
• Training costs and financing options
Learn more about courses, education routes and financing opportunities that can make reskilling more accessible.
• Real conversations with people in the industry
Ask your questions directly, meet recruiters, founders and professionals, and connect with others who are also exploring their next career step.
