Roll out the red carpet!
In this second newsletter of the Expat Center Zeeland, we give you an insight at the further elaboration of this international center. Where do we grow to? What is our contribution? And where are we going to land?
The one-stop-shop concept is a way of working that is used by several Expat Centers in the Netherlands. It is also an important step for Zeeland to function as an international center for the entire province. Think of a smooth, professional and transparent way of communicating. From the registration process with Civil Affairs and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) to working and living in a province, where, in addition to employment in international sectors, there is a lot of nature, which gives a kind of holiday feeling!
The Expat Center Zeeland works towards this one-stop-shop concept. We want to achieve this by using our website as a platform with so-called hub locations. “Hub” stands for other grouped locations.
Our contribution
The Expat Center provides advice on laws and regulations and what kind of issues are involved when someone comes to live and work in our region. The affiliated service providers play an important role. They can provide detailed advice on topics that need to be discussed. Think for example of insurance, tax, housing, language training, sports & culture. The website www.expatcenterzeeland.com already provides a lot of information. We advise you to take a look here! In addition, we are ready to answer all kind of questions in person, by telephone or by email and provide the best possible service to an international, newcomer or employer.
Where will we land?
A soft landing; connecting the right networks; strengthening talent ... These are all important links to achieve the best possible integration. The Expat Center will set up an international community, in order to give internationals and new settlers an opportunity to meet. We also want to provide a platform for our service providers. On top, we want to give employers, temporary agencies and organizations the opportunity to organize theme meetings, so that the community becomes an important part of living and working in Zeeland!
In other words, roll out the red carpet!
