Stage menss (Z-route)

Are you doing the Z-route at the ROC or Werkvloer Taal? Then you will also do an internship at an organization in Tilburg. Menss is one of these organizations.

1. What is it?

Are you doing the Z-route at the ROC or Werkvloer Taal? Then you will also do an internship at an organization in Tilburg. This is possible with Participating and Social Increase (Menss). This is the name of a collaboration between a number of organizations including Feniks, MST and Contour de Twern.

The organizations have a lot of experience with people who do not (yet) know the language. At your internship you will learn by being busy. You also work on your digital skills. You meet other people and you can participate in activities. During your internship you will learn how to cope (even) better in Dutch society and what it is like to work (voluntarily) in the Netherlands.

The aim is for you to learn the language and gain work experience. The 800-hour internship is a mandatory part of your integration. At the end of the internship you will have an idea of what you can do in the future. You may be able to get paid work or work as a volunteer.

3. How long does it take?

The language lessons in combination with the internship last approximately 2 years. The language lessons, your internship and homework take about 32 hours a week.

For status holders who follow the Z-route at Werkvloer Taal or the ROC.
