They work extremely hard to get the most out of their careers in the US. That\u2019s why we want to help student-athletes who (nearly) complete their studies in the US, with finding a job in the Netherlands. At Slamstox we believe that everyone who decided to become a student-athlete and has experienced what it really means, has an edge when it comes to life after college. Therefore, we have launched a new service for all student-athletes! Our ultimate goal is to make the word <span style=\"color:#f06225\" class=\"has-inline-color\">student-athlete <\/span>more famous in the Netherlands. The meaning and importance of being a student-athlete should reflect on the opportunities in the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-study-and-sports-in-the-us\">Study and sports in the US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is well known that Universities in the US create a perfect platform for combining studies and sports at a high level. It\u2019s an amazing experience which will have a great and positive impact on the rest of your life. There are so many reasons why you should play college sports in the US. As a student-athlete, you develop yourself in multiple different ways. For example, as a student-athlete you develop a top sports mentality, you learn how to perform under pressure and in a team, you build up an international network, you learn how to speak English fluently and you &nbsp;develop yourself rapidly on a personal and social level. These are all different qualities and skills that are very valuable for the rest of your life. No coincidence that our slogan is: <span style=\"color:#f06225\" class=\"has-inline-color\">\u201c<em>Future Champions Start Here!\u201d<\/em><\/span>. This all sound very good, but does being a student-athlete actually increase your chances on the Dutch job market?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ebc1ad81237dfa60b12631e108785e7c-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6606\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-research\">Research!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past year, Slamstox worked on a thorough research where we tried to find out what type of skills and qualities student-athletes develop during their career as a student-athlete in the US. We wanted to find out if our student-athletes could be more interesting for companies in the Netherlands, compared to regular Dutch students and athletes. Our research shows us that student-athletes develop important skills for the job market in a faster and more intensive way than Dutch students do. We especially investigated the \u201821<sup>st<\/sup> Century Skills\u2019, which are increasingly important in the job market of today. With the help of our own questionnaire, we can measure your 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Skill-level. Would you like to know how you score on these skills? Fill out our questionnaire right here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welten\">Welten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color:#f06225\" class=\"has-inline-color\">\u201cTogether we go for your development and your career\u201d<\/span> \u2013 Gerard Pruijsen (Former professional athlete and current Business Manager at Welten).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Welten develops and improves the careers of recently graduated students within the disciplines Financial Advisory &amp; Operations, Compliance &amp; Risk and Business IT. The company is located in \u2018s-Hertogenbosch and operates throughout all of the Netherlands. Welten delivers a substantial contribution to the improvement of the quality of financial service providers: \u201c<em>Our mission is to help consumers and companies with making impactful financial decisions\u201d.<\/em> Welten gives talented and ambitious graduates the possibility to start working at a variety of large financial companies. \u201c<em>We understand the great value of the background of student-athletes. We notice that they are extremely driven and that they fit well into our company culture. They understand what it is like to work hard and can operate well in teams\u201d<\/em> noticed by Gerard Pruijsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When starting your career at Welten, you begin with a highly competitive traineeship, in which you will rapidly develop your skills needed for the working field. After a couple of weeks, you start working on your first assignment at a company. These companies are mostly big and (inter)nationally operating companies where you can learn a lot. Welten also offers the option to combine a master\u2019s degree during the traineeship. Are you not sure yet whether you would like to do a master\u2019s degree or start working already? Don\u2019t worry! At Welten, you can do both ????.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hero-slider-afbeelding-Pedro-Gerard.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hero-slider-afbeelding-Pedro-Gerard.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hero-slider-afbeelding-Pedro-Gerard-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you currently studying in the US or have you graduated already?
