Internationals

Come and join us

In the Northern Netherlands, international students and talents are welcome to work in a high-tech environment. The companies of ICD regularly have vacancies for internships or jobs that may be of interest to you. English is a widely-spoken language in the Netherlands, so you don’t need to speak the language to come and work with us. Watch the videos on this page for examples of our international colleagues sharing their experience of working and living in the Netherlands.
