Kyra from VDAB highlighted the abundance of job opportunities in Antwerp, which accounts for about a third of all vacancies in Flanders. She reassured international students that they, too, have access to this dynamic job market. While EEA students can start applying with just their ID, non-EEA students may need to navigate some administrative steps, but no restrictions should hold them back. As a mediator at VDAB, Kyra helps graduates through every phase of their job search. Her top tip? Research company culture, as differences often exist within organizations rather than between countries or regions.
Yeva, a Ukrainian student in Antwerp, shared her personal journey of moving abroad and finding a sense of belonging through AIESEC. Though the transition was initially challenging, the global student organization became her support system. Antwerp’s multicultural atmosphere, stunning architecture, and friendly locals made her feel at home: especially once she discovered the city’s famous ‘frituur’ spots! AIESEC not only fosters connections but also provides students with opportunities to work or volunteer abroad. Inspired by Yeva’s experience? Maybe it’s time to take your own international leap!
