The Young Alumni Network is specifically for young alumni (35 years and younger) living in the Netherlands, who have recently graduated and are at the start of their career. As a young alumnus you have different needs than when you are settled in your career path or when your career is drawing to a close.

What does the Young Alumni Network do?

Networking, your career and personal development – and of course a friendly atmosphere – are at the top of the agenda with the Young Alumni Network. The network offers young alumni the opportunity to get in contact with other young alumni to exchange experience, but also focuses on skills and career development. 

Most activities of the Young Alumni Network take place in Leiden or The Hague and focus on Dutch alumni. Incidentally, there are activities organised for international alumni, for example about applying for jobs in the Netherlands or intercultural communication. 

By and for young alumni

The agenda for the Young Alumni Network is initiated by the board of the network, consisting of young alumni of Leiden University. Together they'll decide what the programma looks like and take care of a range of events for young alumni.
