FAQ

Below are the frequently asked questions. Is your question not here? Then please contact us!

What are the costs for the coaching/candidate matching?

There is no charge for Career Jumpstart. Not for candidates and not for companies. And we work hard to keep it that way.

Do I require an official diagnosis to use Career Jumpstart's facilities?

No official diagnosis is required. We offer guidance and training for all students or graduates who feel like they need a little more help getting a (graduation)internship or job.

How can I sign up?

There is a sign-up page on the website. You also can send an email to careerjumpstart@fontys.nl

How long does the coaching process last?

The trajectory you take differs from candidate to candidate. After the first intake, we will make a plan of action. This plan contains the estimated duration of the process. Of course, this will always be done in consultation with you. We won't stop until you've successfully found a (graduation)internship or job. If we're unable to do it within Career Jumpstart, we'll ensure external partners will take over.

Can I pick my coach or switch coaches during the process?

Of course, you can! It's essential you feel comfortable with your coach as it influences your experience and progress.

How do I know if Career Jumpstart is suitable for me?

We always plan an intake with you, in which we mention all we have up for offer. From there on, you can decide if you want to participate or not.

When and where does the coaching take place?

You and your coach will arrange when and where you'll get together. We're limited to the Fontys locations, and we're available during the working days and times. Online coaching is also possible!

What's the difference between Student+ and Career Jumpstart?

Career Jumpstart is meant for students in the final phase of their study (AD, bachelor's and master's) or those who graduated less than a year ago. Student+ offers guidance during the study and belongs exclusively to the Fontys.

I have no support needs, can I still get help?

Even if you don't have a support need, we understand that sometimes extra guidance can be nice. Unfortunately, we cannot provide this, but fortunately there are many other options available to you. Consider, among others, the municipality where you live. We like to think along with you
