Founding members

A first circle, building the Exchange together.

What founding membership means

Vakbrug Exchange

Live counts of self-reported or reviewed applicants and approved employer demand. Safety-critical applicant trades wait for human review.

Self-reported profiles, two perspectives

Applicants share information about their skills and pathway; employers can explore profiles where applicants have opted in. Claims remain self-reported unless reviewed.

1

Find your path

Build a free profile and share your credentials to receive a provisional pathway result. Submitted details and documents are self-reported until reviewed.

Get seen or search for skilled people

Applicants who opt in may appear in the basic public directory. Companies pay for Search Access; Vakbrug activates it after reviewing company sign-up. Applicants separately choose whether their detailed profile can be searched and a CV generated. Uploaded documents remain private.

Beyond listings: clear status and next steps

Vakbrug helps every student find the career path that suits them best. We help skilled workers get found by employers, and contractors by project developers. As oil, gas and mining grow in Suriname, no one should be left behind.

How it works

Build your profile

Self-reported details, plus the supporting documents behind them — trade, experience, education, and any certification already in hand.

Get discovered

Applicants who opt in may appear in a basic directory. Companies pay for Search Access; Vakbrug activates it after reviewing company sign-up. Applicants separately choose whether their detailed profile can be searched and a CV generated. Uploaded documents remain private.

Built on trust

Three principles hold everywhere on this platform.

Applicants never pay. Signing up and having a basic profile listed are free. Profile information is self-reported unless a claim is reviewed or spot-checked.

Trust is not for sale. Claims are labeled according to their review status, and safety flags can receive human review. Companies pay for Search Access; Vakbrug activates it after reviewing company sign-up.

Registration claims are labeled honestly. Companies can create an account with self-reported registration details, which Vakbrug may spot-check. Companies pay for Search Access; Vakbrug activates it after reviewing company sign-up.

Vakbrug is in its founding stage

Applicant sign-up is open and free. Submit your profile for an immediate, self-reported result: Qualified now or the specific training pathway needed. Some trades still show general guidance while their pathways are being researched. Contact us with questions.
