Are you an ‘uitzendkracht’ (temporary worker via an employment agency in the Netherlands)?

Then you may be eligible for up to €1,500 to learn Dutch—and boost your career opportunities fast!

We continue to welcome more and more students to our Summer Schools and Winter Schools who use this opportunity to have their intensive Dutch course financed with a Doorzaam subsidy. Learn more about these opportunities in this article.

If you work through an agency in the Netherlands, you know how important it is to understand instructions, communicate clearly, and stay safe on the job. But limited Dutch skills can hold you back from better work, longer assignments, and more stability. The Doorzaam Nederlands Taalbudget is designed to change that!

Turn Your Job into a Real Career Opportunity

Improving your Dutch is one of the fastest ways to stand out as an uitzendkracht. With better language skills, you can:

• Understand instructions faster and work more safely
• Communicate confidently with colleagues and supervisors
• Increase your chances of better shifts and longer contracts
• Feel more at home in your workplace and daily life

This is not just about learning a language—it’s about unlocking opportunities.

Good to Know if You Are Considering the Dutch Summer School 2026

If you apply in the 13 April round, your course must start between 13 April and 13 July. This does not necessarily mean you can only choose the first and second periods we offer in the summer.

Please note that your course includes an e-learning component: you will get access to our online materials one month prior to the on-site intensive course to prepare. The start date of your e-learning is considered the official course start date for this subsidy. We will indicate this on the invoice.
