” Building together for a smooth and inclusive transition from study to work”

How do we ensure a fair and sustainable transition of students with support needs to the labor market? Within the Sprong Bridge network, educational institutions, employers and experts join forces to build together an inclusive transition from study to work.

Why participate.

The transition from education to employment does not happen naturally for every student. With this network, we strengthen the cooperation between higher education and knowledge-intensive employers, so that talent in need of support is not needlessly lost. During the meetings we exchange knowledge, experiences and good examples, and discuss bottlenecks and possible solutions.

What is central?

We focus on connecting practice and policy. Consider themes such as:

• inclusive recruitment
• guidance for internship or first job
• role of P&O and career services
• regional and national approaches
• insights from research and policy.

Guest speakers from both education and business and experts by experience share their experiences.

For whom.

This network is for professionals working at the intersection of education and employment, such as:

• employers of knowledge-intensive organizations
• HR/P&O consultants with a focus on diversity and inclusion
• inclusion booster from a career center, a diversity office student affairs alumni policy of a university or college?
• policy makers and researchers

Join, at no cost

Participation is free and financially made possible by the Ministry of OCW.
