Mentoring Program for financial professionals

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 and job application procedures, or find it difficult to meet employers. To overcome these challenges, Triodos Bank and the Refugee Talent Hub are offering this mentoring program to you. There is limited space, so register quickly for the Triodos Bank Mentoring Program!

What is the mentoring program?

During the mentoring program, you will receive guidance from a mentor from Triodos Bank for 5 ½ months. Together, you will boost your professional development and find your way on the Dutch labour 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 Triodos Bank in particular during the joint events and online check-ins.

Please note: the mentor program doesn't guarantee a job at Triodos and instead it does increase your chances of success in the Dutch job market by improving your network, skills, and knowledge.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

About Triodos Bank

We are living in a crucial time in our history. The wave of change is happening and presents us with great opportunities for systemic transformation: from regenerative agriculture, empowering marginalized groups and smart energy solutions to circular economy businesses. We want to be one of the changemakers that accelerate this transformation through using money as a force for positive change and through advocacy.

As a values-driven financial institution we make money work for positive social, environmental and cultural change. To make sure our influence in these areas is positive we only finance sustainable enterprises, and we only use the ‘real’ money entrusted to us by savers and investors in the real economy.

People make the difference: we at Triodos Bank know that all too well. Together we actively contribute to a sustainable society and this starts of course with our co-workers. Several regular moments of reflection and our systematic attention for personal development help ensure that we can make that difference together. We keep each other focused and are all dedicated to the Triodos Bank mission.
