Application process

We believe in equal opportunities for everyone. Therefore, the platform is based on fair matching based on matching skills and knowledge. Based on this, you will only see the vacancies that match your profile. Are you interested in one of the matched vacancies? Press apply and send a short motivation. After that, it is important that you regularly check "pending requests". Here you can see the status of your application. The employer then chooses whether or not to invite you for an interview. Only after you have been invited for an interview will the employer receive your personal data.

Stay involved

Under institutions you can indicate whether you want to help students or other alumni. For example, you can indicate that you are open to a chat, giving a guest lesson or fulfilling a mentor role. As an alumnus/alumna you receive a credit for Career Central every year. You can also earn extra credits by volunteering as a guest lecturer or mentor. You can then easily pass these credits on to your employer. Your employer can use these credits to post internships and vacancies.
