At JouwUnit, we work together to find out what suits you best: training, work, day care, or a work experience placement.
Fijnder helps you find what suits you. How we help depends on your personal situation. To give you an idea of the situations in which we can help, we've provided a few examples below.
Examples
Cooking, chilling and meeting
Every 3rd Tuesday of the month we organize an afternoon at Fijnder in Groenlo.
What we do
- Cooking and eating together
- Have nice conversations
- Getting to know new people
For who?
Every young person who:
- wants more social contacts
- looking for something to do or a challenge
- have questions about money or plans
- just want to try something new
Sign up? Easy!
Sign up via the Fijnder App of fill this form in and send it to JouwUnit@fijnder.nl.
You want to be here! Come join us, discover something new and show us what you've got!
Are you stuck at school? For example, because:
- the lessons are difficult
- you have difficulty with Dutch
- contact with classmates is difficult
You will explore the options together with a consultant.
Sometimes you can continue your education with additional support. If that doesn't work out, we'll work with you to find a program or job that's a better fit.
Are you unsure about what you want to do with your future or could you use some extra support?
We think along with you and help you make a plan.
JouwUnit collaborates with schools in Berkelland, Oost Gelre and Winterswijk, such as:
- VSO Het Bariet
- VSO Klein Borculo
- VSO De Korte Dreef
- VSO The Triviant
- MaxX Education
- Pronova
In your final year of school, you will work with your consultant, your school and, if applicable, your parents to create a plan for your post-school steps.
This could be: continuing at your internship company, paid work or day care.
Do you attend a school outside the municipality? You can also contact us. You can do this by email at: JouwUnit@fijnder.nl.
