ABN AMRO Mentoring Program - June 2023

Finding a job with a refugee background can be challenging. For example, because you have a small professional network, know little about the Dutch labor market or find it difficult to meet employers. To overcome these challenges, ABN AMRO and Refugee Talent Hub are offering this mentoring program to you. There is limited space, so register quickly for the ABN AMRO Mentoring Program

What is the mentoring program?

During the mentoring program, you will receive guidance from a mentor from ABN AMRO for 6 months. Together, you will boost your professional development and find your way on the Dutch labor market. You will receive support from your mentor in multiple ways, including:

  • Setting career goals and formulating concrete next steps for your career;

  • Discovering what your talents / ambitions / competencies / skills / development points are;

  • Discovering which careers / jobs / sectors / companies / courses / trainings are a good fit for you;

  • Improving your CV / LinkedIn page / motivation letters to present yourself better on the Dutch labor market;

  • Practicing job interviews;

  • Enhancing networking skills and learning how to identify opportunities to grow your network.

During the mentoring program, your mentor will share their knowledge, skills, and professional network with you. On the other hand, your mentor can also learn a lot from you! In addition, you will learn more about the other mentors and mentees, work in general, and ABN AMRO in particular during the joint events and online check-ins.

What is the mentoring program not?

  • The mentoring program is not a full time training. You will talk to your mentor about once a week for 6 months. During these meetings you will work on your professional development. In addition, your mentor will help you to find your way on the Dutch labor market. You will also talk to the organization and other mentors and mentees during the joint events and online check-ins. If you want to follow full-time training courses, you can, of course, search with your mentor for full-time training courses that suit you.

  • The mentor program is not a job interview or guarantee of a job at ABN AMRO. However, the mentor program does increase your chances of finding a job on the Dutch labor market because it helps you increase your network, skills and knowledge about the Dutch labor market.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
