ACCESS (http://www.access-nl.org/index.htm) is a not-for-profit organization that bridges the gap between English-speaking services in the Netherlands and the international community. The organization provides advice and information for people wanting to settle and work in the Netherlands. The Dutch public employment service Arbeidsbureau or CWI (Centrum voor Work en Inkomen) (http://www.cwinet.nl/nl/) is responsible for providing advice and information to jobseekers in the Netherlands. If you are a citizen of the European Union, you are entitled to make use of any CWI services free of charge. CWI can be contacted through Jobcentre Plus (http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk) in the UK or the National Training and Employment Authority (FAS) (http://www.fas.ie) in Ireland. The Chamber of Commerce is a useful resource for individuals hoping to start a business in the Netherlands. The Dutch Chamber of Commerce (http://www.kvk.nl/home/homeUK.asp) provides information on the logistics of starting a business, diplomas required for your specific line of business, how to write a solid business plan to finance your ideas and what plans your municipality has within the area in which you want to establish your firm.
