Work Center

The Achterhoek Employment Center helps residents of Aalten find work and access training

At some point, many people find themselves with questions about work or education. Sometimes it’s because you’re looking for a new job, sometimes because you want to advance your career, or because you’re unsure whether your current job is still a good fit for you. You may also want to retrain but aren’t sure where to start. The Werkcentrum Achterhoek is here to help with all of these situations. The Werkcentrum is a regional partnership between municipalities, the UWV, educational institutions, and employers. The goal is simple: to help residents take steps that align with their talents, wishes, and opportunities. Without complicated procedures, without barriers.
