About Qredits:
Entrepreneurial training program for newcomers in the Netherlands
Your own clothing store, a cozy coffee shop or bakery. Entrepreneurs bring a city to life! With the Entrepreneurial Training Program for Migrants or newcomers in the Netherlands, we give entrepreneurs the best possible start. In 14 weeks we help ambitious migrants turn their idea into a strong business plan. We also provide further coaching and training and will finance a good plan.
The Entrepreneurial Training Program for Migrants is made possible by Qredits in cooperation with VluchtelingenWerk Nederland and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. This project is funded under a broader agreement between the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) and the European Commission (Directorate General for Home Affairs), which aims to improve the integration of migrants in EU member states through the development of new partnerships and new forms of financing.
