Shexon

At SHEXON, we are driven by the vision of creating a thriving community where bicultural talent can access professional networks, gain valuable insights, and find the guidance they need to succeed in the job market. The Challenge: More than half of international graduates leave the Netherlands within a year of graduation. Despite over job vacancies, many talented individuals struggle to find suitable employment due to a lack of professional networks and insufficient information about the local job market. Our Solution: SHEXON is a community-based platform that connects international graduates with successful alumni from similar disciplines and cultural backgrounds. By facilitating the exchange of experiences in bicultural career events and offering personalized guidance through paid one-on-one mentorship, we empower bicultural talent to navigate their career paths more effectively. For Alumni: We organize events that enable alumni to give back to their communities by sharing their job market experiences and insights with current students and recent graduates. Your role as an alum is incredibly important – your experience and mentorship can make a significant impact, helping international graduates overcome challenges and thrive in their careers. For Companies: We help organizations assess, understand, and enhance their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) status through scans, surveys, interviews, and training. Our bicultural career events boost employer branding and connect companies with top international graduates. We support firms in showcasing diversity, fostering belonging in international teams, and attracting skilled talent. This is a unique opportunity to demonstrate values, strengthen inclusion, and build a diverse, high-performing workforce. Get Involved: We are looking for forward-thinking companies and dedicated alumni to join us. Together, we can stop the waste of talent and create meaningful connections that benefit everyone involved.
