Search Year for International Students
Interested in this event?
Graduating in Belgium as an international student? Then the “search year” (zoekjaar) may be your bridge from student life to a career here. This residence permit gives non-EU graduates twelve months to find a job or start a business in Belgium - but many students don’t know it exists, or apply too late.
In this webinar, Joyce Simoens of Voka West Flanders explains how the search year works, who can apply, and how to make the most of those twelve months in West Flanders.
What we will cover:
What the search year is and who is eligible
How and when to apply - and the deadlines you cannot miss
What you can (and cannot) do during your search year
Making it count: finding your first job in West Flanders
Q&A for your personal situation
Speaker: Joyce Simoens, Voka West Flanders
