Every step counts.

  1. A job

    Straight away or through an entry-level role.

  2. Work and learn

    Vocational training or a work-and-learn place.

  3. Training

    Vocational course or a certificate.

  4. Volunteering

    Rhythm and experience as a first step.

  5. Own business

    Starting something of your own.

Tailor-made

Same goal. Always tailor-made.

Every target group its own class, with examples from their own world.

Young people

In their own world.

We start by doing, not with a book.

  • Sport and exercise to start the day
  • Role models their age
  • Finding the route that fits

Questions about
bootcamps.

Who is a bootcamp for?

For young people, people on social assistance and refugees. Each group gets its own class and approach. Experience or a diploma is not needed; motivation is. For a different group we are happy to put together a tailor-made class.

What is the goal?

Lasting participation: every participant takes a next step. Which step it is, we decide together with the participant and the case manager.

In which sectors?

In every sector. Together we look at what work there is in the region and what suits the participants.

How does this fit the Civic Integration Act?

As a dual programme alongside the B1 route. For the education route and the Z route, we tailor the content to the personal integration and participation plan (PIP).

Do you teach Dutch?

No, participants take their language course with a language provider. We do language coaching in the workplace and job coaching, so the language is used straight away.
