For more equal opportunities in professional development

Aroundtown Foundation provides financial support to the JINC organization in the Netherlands

The Aroundtown Foundation is providing financial support to the JINC organization for the implementation of the pilot project "Job application training for MBO (secondary vocational education) students". JINC is striving for more equal opportunities in education for children and young people. Young people gain insights into various professions and can discover which occupation suits their skills, while also learning how to apply for a job. Organizing projects such as job application trainings help young people to develop their inner motivation, social and cultural capital, and skills for work.

The Aroundtown Foundation's support will enable JINC to restructure and expand job application training as a pilot project for MBO graduates. It will cover the cost of setting up the trainings and the required teaching materials. Successful MBO completion enables the youth to enter the workforce and gives them the opportunity for long-term employment and financial security.
