Alderman Paul de Bruijn Opens a Drop-In Center for Employment, Education, and Staffing
Alderman Paul de Bruijn opened the Voorschoten drop-in center of Werkcentrum Zuid-Holland Centraal today. He did so at the library on Wijngaardenlaan. Every Tuesday afternoon, employees, job seekers, and employers can visit this location—with no obligation and without an appointment—to ask questions about work, training, and staffing.
“It’s incredibly convenient to have a single central point of contact for questions about work, education, and staffing,” says Alderman Paul de Bruijn. “Where better to set that up than at the library! Once a week, you can drop in here without any obligation for a conversation with a career counselor. For example, because as a young person, you want to connect with employers who need motivated professionals. Because as a slightly older resident, you’re looking for a school where you can retrain. Or because as an entrepreneur, you want information about grants. If you’re satisfied with the advice, you can put it into practice right away. If you’d rather continue the discussion, you can schedule a follow-up appointment at the central job center in Zoetermeer.”
Partners
Various partners affiliated with Werkcentrum Zuid-Holland Centraal were present at the opening of the drop-in center, ranging from the benefits agency UWV and the collaborative organization SBB to the labor unions FNV and CNV, the employers’ association VNO-NCW, the educational institution mboRijnland, and the employment agency De Binnenbaan.
