COVID-19 hit the world hard. Following the pandemic and the social distancing measures that were taken by governments worldwide, our economy is bound to change. Recent projections by DNB show us that we may expect over 700.000 Dutch citizens to lose their jobs in 2021. This crisis will impact our lives severely, and creates uncertainty about the future for many of us.
There may already or may not yet be an urgency for you to prepare for this new economy by rethinking your career opportunities, but either way the time to get ready for it is NOW!
Therefore during the summer period in July and August, Venture Café Rotterdam will be offering a 9-week summer school program consisting of two tracks:
