Work-study program, obtain basic qualification

What is it?

Are you younger than 27 and do you not have a diploma or basic qualification? Then you can still obtain a basic qualification through a work-study program. The municipality offers you extra support with this.

How does it work?

If you belong to one of the following target groups, you can receive support for a work-study program:

  • you are 16 or 17 years old and subject to compulsory education; or
  • you are between 18 and 27 years old and have not yet obtained a basic qualification.

You can only receive support for a work-study program if:

  • the municipality believes that a work-study program is necessary and
  • the support is needed to follow a work-study program.

The costs of guidance during or leading up to a work-study program will be reimbursed.

What should I do?

The municipality can offer you support with a work-study program. Via Lerenenwerken.nl, you can search for a Leerwerkloket (work-study center) in your area and make an appointment with an advisor for free advice about learning and working.
