Just in time for graduation!
By Thomas Ansell
The IWCN, the one-stop-shop for Internationals in Groningen, Frisland, and Drenthe is launching a series of webinars to help inform students as to their rights of residence after they graduate and the opportunities in the North they could take advantage of.
With so many people graduating in the North in the coming months, the IWCN wanted to make sure that everyone with a non-EU nationality knows their rights and the possibilities that exist for International graduates of Dutch universities.
Two webinar days will be held: on 18 June (morning) and 22 June (afternoon). The webinars will include a series of three presentations: the ‘Search Year’ permit, the Highly-Skilled Migrant permit, and the permit for new entrepreneurs. Each of the webinars will include a presentation with all the information soon-to-be graduates might need, whilst two members of the IWCN’s expert team will be available via web-chat for any immediate questions.
After the webinars have ended, the IWCN team will then move onto a video-chat, so that if anyone has any further questions, or would like to speak to someone about their own situation, can do so.
If you’d like to sign up for the webinars on 18 June, follow this link
