In times when the labour market is tight, hiring refugee talent is a win-win solution – TenneT is building a diverse and talented workforce, and refugee talent can find meaningful work at our company,” says the firm’s CEO Manon van Beek. At the first Dutch Business Summit on Refugees, held in 2019, company commitments led to the creation of jobs, training and mentoring for more than 13,000 refugees, according to the Tent Partnership for Refugees.
