An official touch is part of a launch!
Due to the measures about the corona virus, we are moving the event “The Day of the Expat/International” and also the official opening of the Expat Center Zeeland to a later date. We will announce the new date in a next newsletter. The event will be dedicated to the International employee.
Warm Welcome
Zeeland has several sectors where international personnel work. Think of agriculture, tourism, logistics, the construction sector, the petrochemical industry, the technology and the care sector. Not only transfers within multinationals are realized; many international employees are also hired directly from abroad. More and more migrant workers are coming our way via the temporary staffing industry. The Expat Center wants to offer a Warm Welcome. We do this together with affiliated service providers. For example, this includes providing information about insurance, tax advice, explanation about the schooling system, housing, language training, mortgages, notary and relocation services. We also inform about social needs such as sports and cultural awareness and we mention what our environment here has to offer.
With "The Day of the Expat/International" we want to show that internationals can easily settle in Zeeland. And that our province is not in the middle of nowhere. It is just a way to major cities, such as Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels. But also Paris and London are close by and easily to get there. By attracting international talent, we want to put Zeeland big on the map!
