about shanswerkt

We are committed to newcomers building a new future in the Netherlands

Our mission

At ShansWerkt, we believe in opportunities beyond work. Our mission is to accompany newcomers, especially Ukrainian displaced persons, to a new start in the Netherlands. We offer more than just work: we create perspective through personal guidance, language support and attention to development. Together with committed employers, we provide sustainable matches in which people can grow from entry-level jobs to work at their own level. This is how we contribute to an inclusive society where everyone can participate and be of significance.

Our vision

Our vision is a labor market where origin is not a barrier, but where effort, experience and potential are central. We believe in a society where newcomers are given space to reuse their talents. Through long-term guidance, cooperation and trust, we build a labor market that works for everyone: people-oriented, future-oriented and socially strong.
