Hi everyone

My name is Kelsie and I currently reside in Trinidad and Tobago but I would like to live in the Netherlands soon. I currently have a BSc in Environmental and Natural Resource Management and BSc in Tropical Landscaping from the University of the West Indies.

I worked in both the public and private sector and I also do volunteer work. I developed skills in customer service, administrative skills as well as many others. Currently, I am an Environmental Programme Assistant in the Environmental Management Authority in Trinidad and Tobago.

I know that it's difficult to get employed but are there any skills you think that I can develop to become an asset in the Netherlands.

Bendankt voor het lezen.

Kind regards
Kelsie

Hi Kelsie,

To work in The Netherlands you must speak Dutch to land a job and I don't think your degrees will be recognized. You should try to find that out.

Your degrees aren't really suitable for The Netherlands to land you a job I'm afraid. I would recommend you to try to get a student visa and look for a suitable study in a field you would love to work in.

Succes!

Hello,

Environment is a good area to work in NL, unfortunately, a BSc a levelis not sufficient. With a Master, you would have more possibilities... Or try, in a first time, to work in the NL Antillas...
