Lost in Leuven or Loving it? A benchmarking study of internationals in the Leuven region
Nearly ten years after the creation of the International House Leuven, we celebrate a thriving global community at the heart of this city. IHL helps internationals not only settle in but truly belong, offering guidance, connection, and support every step of the way.
This report highlights the voices of over 700 internationals who shared their experiences of living and working in Leuven. Their stories show high satisfaction with life in the region, strong appreciation for IHL’s services, and clear priorities for the future, from housing and language support to community connection and career opportunities.
Leuven combines global ambition in knowledge and innovation with the warmth of local connection. Thanks to IHL and its partners, this region has become more than a place to study or work, it’s a place to call home.
Voka Wijzer - Getting started with labour migration
Flanders recognizes the crucial role of labour migration in addressing workforce shortages and strengthening our economy. To support employers in navigating the complexities of international recruitment, we endorse resources like the Voka Wijzer, which provides clear, practical guidance on hiring labour migrants efficiently and in compliance with regulations.
Through the Voka Chambers of Commerce, employers gain hands-on support in areas such as international employment training, updates on evolving legislation, and insightful discussions on best practices. This brochure serves as a valuable tool for businesses looking to successfully integrate labour migrants into their workforce.
Within this Voka Wijzer, you will find key insights into how our Chambers actively facilitate labour migration, with relevant information easily accessible in the side sections. For personalized assistance, direct contacts for labour migration specialists across the Voka Chambers of Commerce are provided, ensuring you receive expert advice and tailored support.
The Flemish Government remains committed to fostering a business-friendly environment that attracts and retains skilled international talent. We encourage employers to leverage this resource and collaborate with Voka to build a resilient, diverse, and competitive workforce.
