During the Career Event, Young Colfield top talent Amber Paassen was offered a 2-year employment contract on the spot. Amber Paassen - a graduate of the Rotterdam College as well as the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam - received from Young Colfield, in the presence of all visitors at the Career Event in Utrecht, a traineeship offer that she can put to good use over the next two years, gaining different experiences at three leading companies.
Bart Kollau of Young Colfield: "The War for Talent has begun! Many baby boomers will be retiring in the not-too-distant future: 1.2 million people in the Netherlands alone will go into retirement over the next 10 years. This means that organisations have to invest significantly in young talent in the coming years. Whoever does not invest will lose the battle once the economy picks up, because then competition on the job market will turn fiercer than ever. We are convinced that organisations that have the inflow of talented starters high on their agenda will have a headstart in the future. That is why Young Colfield is investing in top talent and training talented newcomers."
