Zeeland, living and working in the beating heart.
Every year Zeeland welcomes hundreds of thousands tourist mainly from Germany, Belgium and the rest of the Netherlands. The perfect moment to show what our coastal province has to offer. It’s well known as a place to spend your vacation. But living there as well is only for people of 55 and older right? And with limited activity, working in Zeeland really is a utopia, isn’t it?
Absolutely not. If you take a look at our quirky province from an economic point of view, you’ll see that Zeeland is located very central. It’s right between Rotterdam, Breda, Antwerp, Gent and even the UK is right next door. This is where it all happens. With a little optimism you could even say that Zeeland is the beating heart of the region and at the same time an oasis of tranquility. Like a big city park where you can get away from all the chaos.
Plenty of activity and jobs
Did you know that Zeeland is filled with activity and that there are plenty jobs available? The ports of Terneuzen en Vlissingen that house big companies like Dow Benelux, Trinseo and Oatly, who all offer a lot of employment opportunities. And we haven’t even named the biggest employer of Zeeland, ZorgSaam. This is just the tip of the iceberg, because if you take a look at all the leading employers of Zeeland, you’ll see that each of them is innovating the market on a national of even international level. The ZB Planbureau has calculated that by the end of 2019 there were 5.000 vacancies in Zeeland. It is expected that the shortage of personnel will only increase. In 5 years there will more than likely be an shortage of 6.000 employees. The economy of Zeeland is growing and businesses are desperate for employees. Anyone that claims there are no chances in Zeeland is no longer credible.
