Meet our professionals!

Corine

After living in Asia for seven years I have a good idea of what international highly educated residents need and what issues they encounter. I manage the Leiden International Centre, part of Leiden&Partners, since 2016. I play a role in its funding, steer Leiden International Centre towards greater impact in the region and motivate the young people in the team. From my HR background I have a great interest in everything related to talent and business needs. Let that all come together at Leiden International Centre!

Jenny

Originally from England, I first moved to the Netherlands for an Erasmus Study Abroad Year in Utrecht. I enjoyed living in the Netherlands so much that I decided to come back to study my Masters in Amsterdam. During Covid I made the move to Leiden. I love living here because of the city's cosy size, historic centre and great location near the beach, lakes, and other major cities.

I have worked at Leiden International Centre since November 2021. My favourite part of my job is helping to make Leiden a better place for internationals by supporting them and their employers with information and guidance.

Kitty

I enjoy working at LIC’s Helpdesk, as I feel that it is important to provide internationals with the resources to make their journey as smooth as possible, and to help them discover their new home in the Netherlands.

Kathelijn van der Ceelen

I was raised internationally and spent most of my formative years living abroad. After moving back to the Netherlands, I had one foot in the international community and the other in the local community. Because of this I can understand our demographic well and can use my familiarity with the Dutch language and culture to provide services that make internationals feel at home.

I worked for the Leiden International Centre from 2018 to 2019, and enjoyed it so much that I returned in 2023. The Leiden Region is a great place for internationals, and I am happy to take part in creating a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers here.

As interns at Leiden International Centre, we contribute to monthly newsletters, manage social media and help organize events. This internship is a great opportunity to contribute to an organization that has a direct impact on the vibrant international community in the Leiden region and to develop new skills and work in an international environment.

We are currently looking for interns to start in autumn 2023, although we will consider applicants who wish to start later in the year.

Leiden International Centre is always looking for new people to join our team! If you want to work with us, check out the list with current vacancies on our webpage!
