Ready to Take Bigger Steps! On the 5th of July, we celebrated the end of an intense 12-week journey in the Dutch New Narrative Lab (DNNL) Launchpad program hosted at Amazon. This journey was made possible by Social Enterprise NL and Google. This incredible experience has been truly transformative for my personal and entrepreneurial development and allowed us to develop and reshape SHEXON for the better. DNNL Launchpad program focuses on empowering underrepresented social entrepreneurs with a migration background, helping them tackle their unique challenges in the Dutch startup landscape. I am immensely grateful to Ruben Brave, a successful serial entrepreneur and true role model, and to Arosha Brouwer our lead mentor, whose unwavering support was invaluable throughout this journey. Thanks to an amazing panel Carol Tarr, ✨Michiel Sujeet, Farshida Zafar, Davide Iannuzzi, and Kayode Alao for their valuable feedback. Lots of success to my peers and their ventures!

SHEXON: Gaining real-life university life insights through connecting with current university students and graduates.
About us
SHEXON: Empowering International Graduates and Bridging Job Market's Talent Gaps At SHEXON, we are driven by the vision of creating a thriving community where graduates can access professional networks, gain valuable insights, and find the guidance they need to succeed. The Challenge: More than half of international graduates leave the Netherlands within a year of graduation. Despite over 400,000 job vacancies, many talented individuals struggle to find suitable employment due to a lack of professional networks and insufficient information about the local job market. Our Solution: SHEXON is a community-based platform that connects international graduates with successful alumni from similar disciplines and cultural backgrounds. By facilitating the exchange of experiences and offering personalized guidance through paid one-on-one meetings, we empower graduates to navigate their career paths more effectively. For Alumni: We organize events that enable alumni to give back to their communities by sharing their job market experiences and insights with current students and recent graduates. Your role as an alum is incredibly important – your experience and mentorship can make a significant impact, helping international graduates overcome challenges and thrive in their careers. Moreover, there is an optional opportunity to earn money by sharing your insights as a freelancer. For Companies: By encouraging your international employees to represent you at SHEXON events, you can showcase your employer branding and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Participating companies gain access to a pool of highly skilled international graduates, eager to find a job. This is a unique opportunity to engage, demonstrate your company’s values, and attract top international talent. Get Involved: We are looking for forward-thinking companies and dedicated alumni to join us. Together, we can stop the waste of talent and create meaningful connections that benefit everyone involved.
