intake

From experience, we know how motivating it is when an intervention or program aligns with your personal needs and characteristics. That is why we always start with an intake interview. In this conversation, we assess your wishes and needs, as well as the extent to which you have accurate knowledge of the Dutch labor market and job application processes. This allows your career coach at USG Restart to provide you with the right advice when choosing from the USG Restart menu.
