Training

‘Pathway-to-Work Training’ ('vorming' or 'opleiding tot werk') allows you to enhance your professional skills. These courses are especially geared towards boosting the employment opportunities for people in high-risk groups.

The ‘Pathway-to-Work’ sector especially focuses on adult job-seekers. They receive:

  • Assistance with finding a training course or job
  • An extensive, tailored offer of Dutch-language training courses and work-experience pathways 
  • Language classes and language-skills training

The website ‘Schakels naar Werk (Steps towards Employment)’ gives you an overview of the guidance services, Dutch-language vocational-training courses and work-experience placements in Brussels.

 

Contact: the Brussels Werkwinkel (Brussels Work Shop)

The Brussels Work Shops are run by Actiris, VDAB and Tracé Brussel jointly and offer a basic service provision for jobseekers, employees and employers within the Brussels-Capital Region.

Jobseekers looking for a course or job can go to the Werkwinkel for help and advice. In collaboration with employers, the Werkwinkel engages in concrete action to enhance the chances of jobseekers finding a place on the labour market.
The Werkwinkel caters for both Dutch-speaking and non-Dutch-speaking jobseekers who are willing to learn Dutch or who already have a basic knowledge of the Dutch language. It works in collaboration with the network of the Dutch-speaking counselling services and the training and work-experience partners.
