Services

(Re)-Integration Assistance

The Sayed Consultancy helps newcomers to adjust to their new circumstances and offer them social, cultural and economic integration assistance. Therefore, it is essential to start by examining the background analysis of the newcomers, focus on their future perspective and will trigger the beneficiaries in finding their purpose and how to achieve this.

Sayed Consultancy also assist Afghan returnees from EU after their arrival to adjust to their new circumstances and offers them the best assistance for a new future in Afghanistan.

By preparing returnees thoroughly for a life in Afghanistan we avoid risks. They may get depressed and find solace in drugs, turn their backs to society and join an insurgent group, with damaging domestic or international consequences or they can try to head back to Europe.

Employment Assistance

In employment related support we focus on career development by zooming in on their knowledge, experience, strengths and interests. Once we find a certain strength, we focus on enhancing this strength.

If additional education is required, we support the beneficiary in enrolment. We also offer vocational training and can support related beneficiaries with vocational trainings from other institutions as well.

Due to our long and successful activities in the last years, we have a good network of large companies looking for new employees. We contact them and train returnees in the company’s specific requirements so they can apply for those jobs.

Business Development Assistance

The support for setting up a small business is a complete package for related beneficiaries to prepare them in a professional way and increase their chances of launching a successful business.

The beneficiaries indicate their wishes, needs and requirement to successfully start a business. Based on this, we prepare the required package. Assistant in business plan is an important part of the package. In a practical training beneficiaries learn to write/evaluate a business plan.

Corporate Branding Development is one of the most successful trainings of our company. In this training, we focus on designing a company name, logo, colors, business cards, flyer design, brochures, etc. It consists of a 24-day technical and practical training. Our designers work with each beneficiary to create a demand based corporate branding for each entrepreneur.

Target groups

Newcomers and returnees

Demand-based services for starting a new life

Newcomers: The Cohesion program has been specifically developed for newcomers in developing a better future in the Netherlands. The program will offer assistance and link the newcomers to potential required programs, entities and residents to experience the Dutch working and culture environment.

Returnees: Most returnees arrive after months or even years in a country that has changed considerably. In cases where they are expelled by an EU country their return in Afghanistan has a huge psychological impact. They feel hopeless and are in an internal struggle. In this time they don’t know what to do and where to start.

  • Sayed Consultancy helps returnees after their arrival to adjust to their new circumstances and offers them the best assistance for a new future in Afghanistan.
  • Experience tells us that by investing enough time upfront to identify returnee needs, build trust and find the right solution will allow us to create a realistic and achievable re-integration plan, one that makes the best use of resources available.

"If not supported properly, the returnees will find solace in drugs, joining an insurgent group or trying to return to Europe".
