As the founder of SHEXON, He's seen firsthand the untapped potential of bicultural talent and the opportunities it brings to industries hungry for innovation and global competitiveness. Yet, many international graduates face significant barriers—limited networks, cultural differences, and challenges navigating the Dutch job market—leading to a talent drain that hurts everyone. In this session, we’ll tackle: 💡 The barriers preventing bicultural talents from thriving in the Netherlands. 💡 The critical role of inclusive hiring practices in bridging these gaps. 💡 How fostering diversity and inclusion (D&I) can turn missed opportunities into game-changing solutions for Dutch industries. SHEXON is incredibly proud to contribute to this important conversation and share actionable strategies to create pathways for meaningful employment. Together, let’s pave the way for a future where talent doesn’t just leave but thrives right here! #DiversityAndInclusion #BiculturalTalent #SHEXON #Bicultural #Career #jobmarket
