There is no charge for Career Jumpstart. Not for candidates and not for companies. And we work hard to keep it that way.
Career Jumpstart is there for students and graduates from all programs at Fontys and TU/e. Our support focuses on students and graduates who have extra support needs (think of: autism, ADHD, (failure) anxiety, high sensitivity, dyslexia, and physical and/or psychological complaints, etc.) and who find it difficult to find a suitable (graduation) internship or job. You do not need an official diagnosis for this.
You can only register via this website by clicking the ‘'Sign up' button.
This varies from candidate to candidate and depends on many factors (such as the labour market). We’ll discuss with you what you need, and we’ll only conclude the programme when you’re ready. If Career Jumpstart doesn’t work out, we’ll call on external partners.
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.
Even if you don’t need support, we understand that a bit of extra guidance can sometimes be helpful. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this, but fortunately there are plenty of other options available to you. These include, for example, your local council. If you’re struggling to sort things out on your own, we’d be happy to help you find a solution. Please send us an email with your brief enquiry.
