Waarom mensen kiezen voor een beroep in de horeca

Werken in de horeca is verrassend en leerzaam. Je hebt veel sociaal contact, spreekt dagelijks nieuwe mensen en elke dag is anders waardoor je je eigen vaardigheden snel ontwikkelt.

Het mooie aan de horeca is dat je alle kanten op kan. Bovendien kent de horeca vele personeelstekorten. Van barpersoneel, restaurantkoks tot hotelreceptionisten.

Weet je niet zo goed waar je moet beginnen? Dan helpt Doorzaam je graag verder.

Kies de juiste opleiding of cursus

Om te starten of verder te groeien binnen de horeca kun je een meerjarige opleiding volgen, maar in sommige gevallen ook cursussen die minder lang duren.

Stories of temporary workers living their dreams

Are you applying for reimbursement? Here’s what you need to keep in mind

When you apply for a reimbursement, we first check whether you are working as a temporary employee. That is why we always ask for your pay stub. Your pay stub shows that you have a temporary employment contract. This allows us to verify whether you are eligible for one of Doorzaam’s reimbursements. Please make sure you submit the correct pay stub.

You want to take a course! What is the best reimbursement to apply for?

You work as a temporary employee, but you would like to develop yourself further. Good for you! Maybe you already know what you want? Or perhaps you have no idea what suits you? Whatever your situation, Doorzaam is happy to help you.

This allowance enables you to retrain or upgrade your skills for a promising profession. In our new animation, we explain exactly what the Kansberoepbudget entails and how you can use it.

Watch: What compensation from Doorzaam means for these temporary workers

Read the personal stories of temporary workers here. Temporary workers who, with the help of Doorzaam's allowances, have taken steps in their work and development.

These are honest experiences from real life, which show that you can always continue to participate and look ahead. Meet our latest Doorzaam Heroes below and be inspired by their experiences and stories.

If one part stops, everything stops. As a temporary worker, you can play an important role in this. Whether you work as a production worker, operator, or technical employee, your efforts ensure that the work continues and everything runs smoothly. In this article, you can read about what working in industry entails, what positions are available, how you can advance your career, and how Doorzaam can help you do so.

How Thys took his career a step further thanks to Doorzaam

Thys is a temporary worker and has enjoyed working as a truck driver for many years. He had wanted to obtain his CE driver's license for trucks for a long time. Thanks to the allowances provided by Doorzaam, he was able to take a training course and obtain his CE driver's license. This allowed Thys to take new steps in his career. We rode along with Thys for a while to hear how he experiences his work and growth.

2025: Continuing to grow together as a temporary worker

From widely read articles to the personal stories of the new Doorzaam Heroes, we would like to look back on the past year with you. We conclude 2025 with a brief review.

We visited Tony at the construction site to see how the courses are helping him in practice.
