The Netherlands is one of the fastest-growing startup and scale-up hubs in Europe. However, the country is currently facing an acute shortage of tech talent, which is becoming a major problem.

Amsterdam particularly is suffering a huge tech talent shortage. The companies in the capital city are in desperate need to hire tech talent in the city. 

This is an ideal time and place for IT enthusiasts to find their way into the tech industry. And taking a Bootcamp, workshop, or enrolling in a proper course designed to upskill one as quickly and efficiently as possible is the most effective way to become qualified enough to join such a promising career in tech. 

To financially support workers and job seekers who are looking to advance their careers through training, the Dutch government launched a brand new scheme – STAP (Stimulation of the Labor Market Position) in March 2022.
