Internship Opportunities for Vocational and Higher Vocational Education Students

If you’re enrolled in a Level 4 MBO program in social work, you can visit one of the walk-in centres or participate in one of the work programs. You can find more information about walk-in centres and work programs on this website. To apply for an MBO internship, visit stage@deregenboog.org, —please include your resume and indicate your available internship days, your internship period, and the number of hours per week you need to complete for the internship. 

For more information, call 06 14 86 67 73 (Willemijn Los, internship coordinator) or 06 44 14 29 28 (Jermaine Starke, internship coordinator).

If you’re in your second year of a social sciences program at a university of applied sciences (such as Social Work or Pedagogy) and are looking for an internship of 16 hours or fewer, you can get started as a buddy in our Informal Care department. You’ll provide support to people in various areas of need, such as financial difficulties, mental health, addiction, youth and young adults, asylum seekers, language buddies, and much more. For more information, email stage-iz@deregenboog.org

If you’re interested in a combined internship at both a walk-in centre (serving people experiencing homelessness and addiction) and Informal Care, this is possible. You’ll do your internship one day a week at a walk-in centre, and for the remaining hours of your internship contract, you’ll work as a buddy at Informele Zorg.

Please clearly indicate this in your cover letter and email it along with your resume to: stage-iz@deregenboog.org

If you’re in your third year of a higher professional education (HBO) program in Social Work and Social Services (MWD), you can do an internship with De Regenboog’s social work department. It’s a plus if you’re fluent in multiple languages. Want to know more about the opportunities for an MWD internship? stage@deregenboog.org

If your program isn't listed here but you're interested in De Regenboog Groep, please contact our internship coordinators. Together, we'll see if there's an opportunity. Email us at stage@deregenboog.org

Depending on the number of internship hours you complete and/or your situation, you may be offered a volunteer agreement or an internship agreement. We’ll discuss this during your introductory interview.
If you choose the combined internship at the walk-in centre and Informal Care, you are entitled to a half-day stipend (7 euros per half-day)

Internships at Informele Zorg last at least 10 months. Your school will provide you with your internship schedule, and we follow that schedule at De Regenboog Groep.

HBO internships at the IZ always start in February and September. They last 10 months. At some work sites, you can also start at other times, for example at the walk-in centres (for MBO internships).

De Regenboog holds many different SBB accreditations and is therefore an officially recognized training company. We do not offer the Vocational Guided Learning Path (BBL), in which you would be employed by De Regenboog.

Do you still have questions after reading this information? Please call or email Willemijn and Jermaine (MBO) or Jolanda (HBO). Willemijn and Jermaine are available to answer questions about MBO internships, and Jolanda is available to answer questions about HBO internships
