Read this before you apply

This form needs to be filled out in English and should give a good impression of who you are, what you like to do and learn. A possible host will decide on the basis of this form if he is interested in offering you a placement. This form is thefirst impressionof you. At the same time, this form should represent you, so you need to fill this in, not somebody else.

You should have practical experience in the sector (all trainees) and an agricultural-horticultural education (non EU). In addition, you should be motivated and thinking off a career in agriculture-horticulture. You should be able to have a conversation in English and be interested in the Netherlands as well.

We strongly discourage couples from applying as placement with one host will be extremely difficult. Any couple that applies should be fully prepared to spend the entire program apart. Inform us honestly if you are a couple so that we can be honest with our hosts.
