On June 19th, we're hosting our employer event "Working with Newcomers" at TwynstraGudde in Amersfoort. During this afternoon, you'll hear from other entrepreneurs who are choosing talent, growth, and results. They saw potential, acted on it, and are now reaping the rewards. Their message? With diverse talent, you build a future-proof team and make a difference as an organization.
During the workshop rounds,Corné , Jaap , Maikel, and others will share their approaches, tips, and insights. You can read about them below. You can also indicate your workshop preferences in this registration form .
Corné Huntink – Corthogreen
Sustainable growth – literally and figuratively. Corthogreen, based in Terborg, makes seed packets, ribbons, and other promotional materials with a green feel. But the family business does more: they also offer opportunities to people who are distanced from the labor market. Forty colleagues now contribute to the company's success through this route.

Jaap Jongejan – Zonheuvel Estate
Finding good people is difficult. But at Zonheuvel Estate, they do things differently. James and Edison—both living in an asylum seekers' center—were given a chance to work in the scullery. Not as a stopgap, but as a conscious choice. Jaap: "We don't talk about staff here; we work with people."
Zonheuvel partners with Untapped Talents to arrange everything: from obtaining a BSN (citizen service number) to on-the-job support. And yes, it requires commitment. But, says Jaap: "What employer these days shouldn't make an effort to hire good people?" Read the full article on VNO-NCW Midden .

Maikel de Bruin – Municipal Health Service Drenthe
In the podcast " What if you don't do it? ", Maikel explains why the future of work demands a different approach to talent. Why are refugees often overlooked, even though they could be so valuable to our labor market? This episode is about courage. About seeing things differently. And about what happens when you do give them that opportunity. Listen to the podcast here .
