Rotterdam wants Cabinet to fund plan putting refugees in jobs, traineeships
NL TimesRotterdam launched a new approach to helping refugees settle in the city in which they don't only get language lessons and training but also a job guarantee within the municipality or elsewhere in the labor market. "With this approach, we save on benefits and train good people for the labor market, which is why we want the government to reimburse the extra costs," alderman Vincent Karremans said to NOS. According to alderman Karremans, this learn-work program means that new Rotterdam residents can stand on their own feet much faster. That is why we want more money in advance for these learn-work programs so that we can help more people in this way.” Minister Karien van Gennip of Social Affairs likes the Rotterdam approach and promised to look into the funding possibilities.
