DIT EVENT IS UITGESTELD!
Diversity and inclusion are core values of Leiden University. Leiden University is committed to becoming an inclusive community which enables all students and staff to feel valued and respected and to develop their full potential.
Diversity and inclusion are also important themes on the job market. During the Diversity and Inclusion Career Event we would like to address these themes whilst talking about the current (developments on the) job market, sharing experiences, skills and tips from employers and experts on the application and matching process for internships and jobs and discussing some of the challenges for students and recent graduates experiencing any kind of threshold to the job market.
The event will be held in English and is open to all students and recent graduates of Leiden University. There will be ample room for questions.
Concept programme (details will follow swiftly, by registering we will keep you posted):
- Opening speech
- Panel with experts and employers
- Closing words
Career Services aims for sustainable employability and happiness in work and does this amongst others by striving for inclusive guidance for all students and recent graduates on study choice and career questions. If you have any specific questions or needs for being able to join or attend this career event, please let us know (via the registration form or email careerservices@sea.leidenuniv.nl).

Born in Amsterdam, lived in Suriname, a networker pur sang. Whilst being the owner of a financial consultancy firm, Melvin became aware in networking of the fact that he was not part of a very diverse population and reacted by founding The Other Network (TON) in 2004. TON aimed for more visibility of the advantages of cultural diversity in Dutch businesses. Soon after this Melvin founded Young Global People.
Global People is the biggest online community for multicultural talent in the Netherlands. The platform aims for the connection between business, multicultural student associations and highly educated candidates for vacancies, events and sharing knowledge and skills. In both initiatives unifying multicultural Netherlands is the central aim. His favorite motto is “United we stand, divided we fall!” and all his work contributes to this.
