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.

2

Explore applicant profiles

Applicants who opt in may appear in the basic public directory. Limited, admin-activated test access lets employers search consented profiles and download status-labeled CVs; uploaded documents remain private. No access or placement payments are collected. A broader paid search service is not active. Companies can create a free account and share a workforce need.

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 your pathway

Receive a provisional pathway result based on the details you submit. It does not independently verify your credentials; selected claims may be spot-checked later.

Get discovered

Applicants who opt in may appear in a basic directory. Limited candidate search and CV downloads are available only through admin-activated test access, for applicants who separately consent to it — a broader paid search service is not active yet. No access fees are collected or processed.

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. Paid company access is not active; Vakbrug does not currently collect or process access, placement, or sponsorship fees.

Registration claims are labeled honestly. Companies can create a free account and share a workforce need. Registration details are self-reported and may be spot-checked. Search access is activated by an admin during testing.

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.
