332 asylum seekers find paid work at Amsterdam trial, 'goal achieved'

Of the 1,017 asylum seekers who participated in a trial by the municipality of Amsterdam to help asylum seekers find work, 332 have found a paid job. A further 312 have "taken a concrete step towards paid work", such as conducting a job interview, with the mediation of the municipality. This is evident from an evaluation carried out on behalf of the municipality. As far as Amsterdam is concerned, this has achieved the main goal of the trial.
