The municipality of Den Helder, together with InWerking, is extending the Inland Shipping project by one year.
\nIn this project, twenty young people from our municipality will be given the opportunity to work and learn in the
\ninland shipping. They can become sailors and sometimes even progress to skipper.
\nThe project is specifically intended for young people who have difficulty feeling at home in a regular
\nschool or in a normal learning environment. Through practice-oriented learning and by working together with
\nEmployers give them a better chance of work and independence. The collaboration between the
\nmunicipality and InOperation officially started on January 1, 2024. Before that, the project was already running through the
\nEmployer Service Point. During that time, a lot of experience was gained in guiding young people to
\nsustainable work.<\/p>\n
The results are good: many young people succeed, become independent and obtain a starting qualification (minimum
\nMBO level 2). This means they do not have to remain dependent on benefits. This shows that
\nproject works well, for the young people and for the municipality.
\nCouncillor for Participation Niels Nanning says: \u201cCustomised solutions and collaboration with employers make it possible
\ndifference. We give young people opportunities, peace of mind, and a clear goal. This is a good example of how
\n\u201dWith the Participation Act we not only offer opportunities, but also solve social problems.\u201d
\nIan van Schie is a former participant. He successfully completed the program and is very enthusiastic:
\n\u201cWhen I started, I had no diploma and little future. Thanks to the Inland Shipping project, I was able to learn and
\nWorking on the water. Now I have my boating license, a permanent position on board, and I chart my own course.
\nFor me this means a future full of freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Youth Center Den Helder is an important partner in the project. Many young people come to the
\nYouth Center in contact with the municipality and InWerking. The Youth Center helps young people aged 16 to 27
\nyear with questions about work, education, housing, money and personal problems. Young people can get help there
\nreceive guidance, coaching and practical matters. For example, looking for work, contacting
\nEmployers or debt assistance. More information can be found at www.denhelder.nl\/onderwijs-en
