This event is brought to you by the Holland Alumni Network (HAN), who supports international students, graduates, and professionals in the Netherlands.

Are you a non-EU student or recent graduate looking to build your career in the Netherlands? The Orientation Year residence permit is a valuable opportunity — but the real question is: how do you make the most of that year?

​Join us for a 30-minute live Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Diana Vadez, who recently went through the Orientation Year process herself. Diana will share her first-hand experience, practical tips, and insights on how to approach the application and use your Orientation Year strategically to open doors for your career.

​What we will cover

  • ​Key steps in preparing your Orientation Year application
  • ​What to expect from the process and timeline
  • ​How to use the year to explore career opportunities in the Netherlands
  • ​Strategies to connect with employers and expand your network
  • ​Practical tips for overcoming challenges during the Orientation Year 
  • ​First-hand lessons learned from someone who’s been there

​Bring all your questions for our speaker — knowing that there are no obvious or one-size-fits-all answers. This is a live session, and we’ll prioritize your questions so we can all get the most value from this event together.
