At work

If you are not attending school, do not have a job, and are unable to make ends meet financially, the Youth Desk can assist you. During a consultation, we will assess your current situation and explore ways for you to move forward.

Have you completed Practical Education (PRO) or Special Secondary Education (VSO) (PRO-VSO education)? If so, we are also happy to help you find a job. For more information and conditions, see'Information for PRO-VSO Education students'.

More information

Would you like more information? You can contact us by phone—without an appointment—from Monday to Friday between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Due to the coronavirus, you cannot visit us in person.

Own income

It is important that you start earning your own income as soon as possible. That is why you should start looking for a job. Are you going back to school? If so, you may be eligible for student financial aid.

Looking for work

You are responsible for finding work and applying for jobs yourself. However, staff at the Youth Desk can help you with this. We are happy to put you in touch with someone from our Employer Service Point, who can tell you about current vacancies. In addition, you should actively search for vacancies yourself and apply for as many jobs as possible.

I don't know what I can do.
