Yes, definitely. We help you write a resume, a cover letter or prepare for an interview. Our consultants think with you, so you can go into an interview stronger and more confident.
This is quite normal. Together we identify your interests, skills and abilities. We can conduct a career interview, do a self-test or advise you on suitable training. This way you discover step by step what suits you.
You want to become an approved learning company because you want to supervise a practical school, secondary special education vmbo student, mbo student, omscholer or tutor. To become a learning company, you must first apply for accreditation.
