Municipality of Tholen: applying for support by your municipality for reintegration into the labour market

Please note: you can only apply for support to reintegrate into the labour market if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

Do you have a 'bijstandsuitkering' and are unable to find work? Then you will receive guidance from the municipality. They will offer you training, an apprenticeship or a special job. You will first discuss which work or course is suitable for you. This way you will get help that suits you.

If you do not have a 'bijstandsuitkering', you can apply for guidance from the UWV.

Who is the support for?

  • All residents who are looking for work and have not managed to find it themselves.
  • All residents who receive or apply for benefits.

If you receive benefits, you also have obligations. For example, you must do everything you can to get back to work.

For example:

  • Try to find paid work. You must look for vacancies, apply for jobs and be registered with 1 or more employment agencies.
  • Look for work not only in the area where you live, but also in the surrounding areas  or beyond. What happens if you find or are offered work? Then you must accept that work.
  • Be prepared to travel for work.
  • Cooperate with the municipality to create and implement a plan for your reintegration.
  • Actively update or improve your knowledge and skills.

Contact your municipality for help and information.
