This time, we will not only share information and inspiring stories, but will also shed some light on Working Culture in the Netherlands.  Do you want to know what characterizes the working culture and labor market in the Netherlands?  You’ll quickly discover that Dutch working culture is probably different from the one of our country of origin.  For example, different ways of communicating with colleagues or stakeholders, different ways of conducting meetings, different organizational structures, or wages.

Make it in the North, in collaboration with IWCN, will give you information about the peculiarities of the working culture in the Netherlands, as well as information about the market. We will share some tips and experiences and there will also be space for questions and feedback!

To better support international spouses, Make it in the North is launching a new landing page dedicated to spouses.  This page will serve as a central hub with useful information to help you navigate the Northern Dutch labor market. During this event, we’ll present the page—and we need your input!  What works? What’s missing?  Your feedback will help us shape this resource to better support you and other spouses.

This free event is your chance to connect, learn, and contribute to shaping future support for spouses. Reserve your spot now—we look forward to seeing you! And keep an eye to our third collaboration in October 2025!

Location: International Welcome Center North, Gedempte Zuiderdiep 98, Groningen
