Working buddy Status holder

What are you going to do?

You will do volunteer work together with a refugee. Volunteer work that you both enjoy! You are the bridge between the status holder and the organization. You demonstrate the volunteer work and then you do it together. You learn the Dutch necessary for the job. In this way, the status holder learns the work culture in the Netherlands and the Dutch that is necessary. Gradually you withdraw more and more until the status holder can do it alone.
