The International Centres of South Holland united on 11 December to strengthen international talent through policy talks, student retention strategies, permit updates, and the new Work in South Holland platform promoting jobs and integration.
International professionals often leave not from lack of skill, but unclear career direction. Organisations retain talent by clarifying growth paths, recognising transferable skills, supporting belonging, and engaging families through conversations.
Successful relocation goes beyond paperwork. Supporting internationals with housing, daily life, family needs, cultural norms, and early integration improves comfort, engagement, and retention, setting the foundation for a positive, sustainable experience
2026 brings higher salary thresholds, stricter sponsor obligations, monthly payment proof, updated permit rules, and new 30% ruling norms with an income cap, making audits and compliance essential for employers.
Smooth family relocation hinges on smart education support, guiding children through Dutch schools, language programs, and integration boosts both family happiness and international assignment success.
Webster Leiden Campus has strengthened its commitment to sustainability through strategic initiatives, including the launch of the MS in Sustainability Management and the integration of sustainability across undergraduate and graduate curricula.
On Tuesday 30th September, we hosted our Service Partners for a networking meeting. Read more about the latest trends in internationalisation and how they have influenced us and our partners.
