Questions about work? Visit the Werkcentrum Amstel-Venen
Residents looking for a new job or aiming to advance in their careers can visit the Werkcentrum at the town hall in Amstelveen. The Werkcentrum is available for employees, job seekers, and employers alike. Anyone with questions about work, training, or career advice is welcome. Employers can also seek assistance with staffing and job vacancies. The consultations are free of charge.
On Monday, March 23, the aldermen of Amstelveen, Aalsmeer, Uithoorn, and De Ronde Venen officially opened the Werkcentrum Amstel-Venen. Alderman Anja Vijselaar, responsible for the economy and labor market, represented the municipality of De Ronde Venen: “Today marked the national launch of the work centers. This means that supply and demand in the labor market can now find each other more easily. For businesses, it will be easier to find staff, and for residents, it will be easier to find (other) work. Having everything in one place is a significant step forward. We are working toward a strong and future-proof labor market that is not hindered by municipal boundaries.”
For residents and entrepreneurs
The Werkcentrum Amstel-Venen brings together the four municipalities—Uithoorn, Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, and De Ronde Venen—along with the UWV, employers' organizations, trade unions, and educational institutions to pool their knowledge and experience. Thanks to this collaboration, there’s no need to figure out where to go; everything is available in one place. Staff at the Werkcentrum are happy to help explore options for finding (new) work or suitable employees.
