Unique Career Opportunities for Caribbean and Surinamese Talent
An increasing number of employers in the Caribbean are looking for professionals who have gained knowledge and experience in the Netherlands.

They offer career opportunities in various sectors such as finance, IT, law, engineering, and healthcare.
“We see that more and more Caribbean and Surinamese students and professionals in the Netherlands are considering returning home. At the same time, employers in the region are eager to welcome new talent,” says Emma Bierens, Product Manager of ‘Working in the Caribbean’. “This fair is the perfect opportunity to connect directly with employers and take concrete steps toward a career in the Caribbean or Suriname.”
