Bridging the gap: Connecting SMEs and young experts

Northern America Africa Middle East Latin America Europe Asia Climate Resilience Finance for Water Water & Agrifood Water & Crisis Water Technology Young Expert Programmes

Are you a student or young professional interested to learn more about the Dutch water sector and what it has to offer, make sure you subscribe for our webinar on 12 April. For this webinar NWP invited its members and will help connect member companies, particularly SMEs, with young experts with a college and university (MBO and HBO) degrees.

Why? Because the water sector is a highly innovative, professional and fun sector to work in. To ensure continuity in the water sector, it is important to bring young professionals with practical and/or technical skills and fresh ideas onboard.

This webinar is for NWP Members only. Are you an NWP member and interested to join? Please also subscribe via the form below.

Let's get to know each other during this first session which will focus on making the connection as well as opening the floor for a brainstorm on what attracts young experts and cater to their needs. Further, the companies will get an understanding on how young experts view careers in sustainability and the water sector. NWP will follow-up on the session to keep the links strong and continue fostering engagement on this topic.
