Preface of the Director of the Academy Public Management, Safety and Law

Esteemed guests, dear students, On behalf of the Academy Public Management, Safety and Law, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our guests here at the Employment Network Event 2014, organized by the International Bachelor of Law Program. Based in the city of Peace and Justice The Hague, this program is an ambitious Law Program within the Academy that strives to develop students into high quality professionals who can operate in an international market.

The Employment Network Event serves as a means to acquaint the students with potential employers for their internship and further career opportunities. Moreover, it aims to acquaint employers to the International Bachelor of Law Program and its skilled and motivated students, as well as cementing relationships between the Program and the work field. Both the Program and I are very pleased to see that the Network Employer Event has grown into an event that is beneficial to both students, employers and the program as a whole.

I would especially like to express our appreciation for the key note speakers who have volunteered to share their knowledge and experience with our students, as well as the many esteemed employers which are represented here today. Your valued presence forms the crucial link between the program and the employer market. As an Academy and a Program, we are dedicated to educate the students in such a way that they can enter into your organization with the competences and skills that your require and expect.

The program for today includes an introduction to The Hague University and the International Bachelor of Law Program, key note speeches of Mr. Thomas Spiller and and Mr. Wouter Veening and contributions from alumni. Last but not least, we invite you to participate in a meet and greet between employers and students on an individual basis.

Lastly, I would like to thank Mr Aurelien Lorange and Ms. Hyun Ju Park of the External Relations Committee as well as the student ambassadors for their enormous efforts in making this event a success.

Also on behalf of the Program Managers of the International Bachelor of Law program Ms. Hilde Cadenau and Mr. Mario Flips, I wish all of our guests a successful and enjoyable day,
