Thank You, Volunteers: Celebrating Together in 2024!

Written by

Laura Linga
Let’s Celebrate Our Amazing Volunteers! This week is extra special for the volunteer community in the Netherlands and all over the world! Thursday, December 5, 2024, is International Volunteer Day, and Saturday, December 7, is National Volunteer Day in the Netherlands. These days are all about recognizing the incredible work that volunteers do here and around the world. Whether it’s supporting a local project or lending a hand across borders, volunteers make a real difference in every area of life. Volunteering isn’t just about helping others (though that’s huge!). It’s also a way to grow personally. You can learn new skills, find a sense of purpose, and feel the joy of giving back. Did you know that 84% of HR professionals think volunteering helps job seekers? And 80% of employers say they look at volunteer work positively when reviewing CVs. Beyond that, volunteering can boost your health and happiness helping you connect with others, feel more engaged, and even stay active. At Volunteer The Hague, we know how powerful volunteering can be, especially for internationals settling into a new country. It’s a fantastic way to get involved, meet people, and feel at home. Our mission is to help you find meaningful volunteer opportunities with local non-profits, free of charge. The Hague’s diverse and welcoming community makes it the perfect place to give back while building connections. To all the volunteers in our community: THANK YOU! Your kindness, dedication, and passion inspire us every day. Let’s keep making a difference together in 2024!

Short Survey to Help the Netherlands Improve International Talent Acquisition!

| News

Our friends at The Hague International Centre are launching a European "Benchmark Study on International Talent" in order to become better at attracting, retaining and matching international talent with the skills needs of various companies. The Why: Global competition on high-skilled talent is leveling up every year, and many companies and organizations feel that they can’t fill vacant positions, which inhibits growth. Many high-skilled international Masters and Ph.D. students wish to stay in their host countries after graduation, but in the end only a minority do, which is a big lost opportunity for the host country. This European benchmark study seeks to improve services to local internationals in order to make our region more attractive and a better home for everyone! The study also seeks to learn about internationals in different markets in order to develop comparable insights on the satisfaction level of the target group, which is Bachelor and Masters students, PhDs, and high-skilled workers. The study will include a ranking of decision-making factors, main reasons for arriving to and staying in a country to pursue career opportunities, and will also explore challenges for employers when it comes to attracting, receiving, and retaining international talents. Are you an international Bachelors/Masters/PhD student or professional/self-employed/spouse working in tech, science, or as an engineer? Please share your experience as an international when it comes to settling in, living, and working here in The Netherlands by taking this 10-minute survey, which can be found at the link below. And thank you so much in advance! To the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XHD22JJ
