Refugees Power Dutch Workforce | Amsterdam News

Dutch companies are turning to refugees and asylum seekers to solve labor shortages, hiring 13,500 last year across logistics, hospitality, facilities, and trades—thanks to Tent Nederland, a coalition of 51 firms driving this effort. A new legal change now lets asylum seekers work full-time, boosting opportunities. Employers praise their loyalty and low absenteeism, while individuals gain purpose and income. Job fairs and direct partnerships are making integration smoother, with the government aiming for high employment rates within five years. Success stories like Issam’s rise to leadership prove refugees aren’t just filling gaps—they’re thriving and adding value.
