Working in Netherlands

Possible country route: Highly Skilled Migrant / EU Blue Card. The highly skilled migrant route normally requires an IND recognised employer and the applicable salary requirement. A residence card in another EU state does not automatically grant Dutch work permission.

What to check before applying
  1. Verify the sponsor. Check the IND recognised-sponsor register and confirm who submits the application.
  2. Confirm the salary category. Ask the employer which current income requirement applies.
  3. Prepare entry and residence documents. The need for an MVV depends on nationality and circumstances; check IND.

HR Internship – Manufacturing People Partner Support


It’s not possible to write a thesis with this internship.

We are offering a hands‑on HR internship within a high‑volume manufacturing environment in Drachten, a leading hub for advanced manufacturing in the Netherlands. As part of the Manufacturing People Partner team, you will play an active role in HR operations, data analysis and local employee relations, contributing directly to the people, processes and culture of a large production facility.

  • Support absenteeism processes, including registration, administration and leader follow‑up.

  • Advise and support managers on HR matters and performance improvement follow‑ups.
  • Provide general HR administrative support to the manufacturing teams.
  • Collect, analyse and report HR metrics to inform decision‑making and continuous improvement.

This internship provides practical, varied experience with immediate impact within a large organisation. You will receive guidance from experienced HR professionals and the opportunity to develop relevant HR skills in a real production setting.


You're the right fit if:

  • You are currently studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related field, and you are fluent in Dutch and English.
  • You are organised, communicative and proactive, with the ability to work independently. Excel skills are an advantage, and interest or experience in the manufacturing or industrial sector is a plus. Above all, you thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic working environment.

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

A non-stop growth opportunity within a global multinational company. In addition, we also want to renumerate you well for the opportunity. This includes:

  • Monthly full-time allowance between €500 - €700 gross, depending on your education level and if you need to relocate to The Netherlands. Part-time internships receive the allowance pro-rata. 
  • Housing compensation. Should you need to relocate to near our office, we’ll offer you a monthly allowance of €300,- net if location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam, €255,- net for all other Philips locations. To be eligible, we’ll just ask for the rental contract from your landlord, and your usual home-work travel distance needs to be more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time (for a one way trip). 
  • Travel compensation, if you are not eligible for a free public transport card; you will receive max. €192,- net as a monthly allowance. 
  • Paid holidays per internship term. 
  • The opportunity to buy Philips products at our Philips shop.
