How to Successfully Network in the Netherlands
One of my most requested trainings helps internationals develop the confidence and practical skills to build meaningful professional relationships in the Netherlands.
A few years ago, a major reorganization forced me to transition between jobs. That experience taught me first-hand how crucial networking is – not just for career opportunities, but for creating a sense of belonging. Since then, expanding my network has been one of the most impactful steps in my personal and professional growth.
Participants will learn:
- Common misconceptions about networking in the Dutch context
- How to approach networking strategically and authentically
- How to maintain and grow professional connections over time
Ideal for:
- Students and graduates entering the Dutch job market
- Professionals looking to expand their network and career opportunities
- International employees who want to better navigate Dutch professional culture
