Empowering Spouses and Partners: RSH's Career Support Programs
April 2nd, 2025
Relocating to a new country impacts the entire family, and for many expat spouses and partners, finding career opportunities or pursuing personal professional goals is an important part of settling in. Whether you're moving to the Netherlands for work or family reasons, RSH is committed to ensuring that the entire family can thrive, with specialized services designed to support the career aspirations of spouses and partners.
At Relocation Services Holland (RSH), we understand that a successful relocation experience is about more than just handling the logistics of moving. It’s about helping the entire family—especially spouses and partners—achieve their personal and professional goals. That’s why we offer personalized support to ensure spouses and partners have the tools they need to succeed in the Dutch job market and professional landscape.
How RSH Supports Spouses and Partners in Their Career Journey
When relocating, spouses and partners often face unique challenges in pursuing career opportunities. These may include a lack of familiarity with the Dutch job market, language barriers, and adjusting to a new professional culture. Here’s how RSH can assist:
1. Career Guidance and Job Market Insights
We provide personalized guidance to help spouses and partners understand the Dutch job market, identify industries that are in demand, and explore potential career opportunities based on their skills and qualifications.
2. Networking Opportunities
Building a professional network in a new country is crucial for career success. RSH helps connect spouses and partners with relevant industry-specific networking events and expat professional groups, ensuring they can build meaningful connections that might lead to career opportunities.
3. Language Support
While many jobs in the Netherlands are available in English, fluency in Dutch can be a key asset in securing employment. RSH provides information on language courses and offers advice on how to improve language skills, which can help in both the job search process and day-to-day professional life in the Netherlands.
4. Information on Local Employment Regulations
Understanding local employment laws and regulations can be complex for newcomers. RSH offers guidance on the Dutch labor laws, including contracts, work permits, and social security systems, helping spouses and partners feel more confident when applying for jobs.
5. Entrepreneurial Support
For those looking to start their own business, RSH provides guidance on the steps to start a business in the Netherlands, including legal requirements, tax implications, and market research, allowing spouses and partners to explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
