What JINC does

JINC is a Dutch non-profit (stichting with ANBI status) founded in 2003 in Amsterdam Nieuw-West as an initiative against poverty, now operating nationwide through seven regional offices — Brabant-Limburg, Haaglanden-Leiden, Midden-Nederland, Noord, Noord-Holland, Oost, and Rijnmond — with roughly 200 employees. Its mission is to give children and young people from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds an equal start in the labour market by exposing them to working life and structured career coaching. Target cohorts span primary school groups 5–8 and vmbo/mbo students.

JINC's delivery is organised around a portfolio of seven named programmes: Bliksemstage (half-day workplace visits), TaalTrip (vocabulary excursions), Sollicitatietraining (mock interviews), Carrière Coach (four-session career coaching), Weten Wat Je Wil (four-year longitudinal coaching), NetwerkWijzer (networking-skills training), and JINC Wizzie (the primary-school 'whizzkid' pathway bundling projects with modules in financial, cultural, nutritional, and planning education). The core technology layer is the LINC planning portal (linc.jinc.nl), used by schools, companies, and volunteers to schedule and coordinate participation, supplemented by the Mijn JINC portal for teacher/volunteer resources and the Good Habitz e-learning platform for internal staff development. Programme content is aligned with the Dutch LOB curriculum framework and Marinka Kuijpers' five career-competency model, and is taught primarily by volunteer professionals drawn from corporate partners.

JINC operates a fully non-commercial, community-led GTM model. All programmes are free to schools and students; revenue (not publicly disclosed) is assembled from approximately 950 corporate partners providing both financial sponsorship and volunteer capacity, grants and project funding from foundations and funds (Adessium, Fonds 21, Goldsmeding, ING Nederland Fonds, Oranjefonds, VSB-Fonds, Vodafone Foundation, Postcode Loterij, Instituut GAK, Dioraphte), occasional municipal SROI contributions, and tax-deductible individual donations and legacies enabled by ANBI status. Acquisition of new partners is driven by regional-office relationship management and referrals rather than paid acquisition, supported by a newsletter, LinkedIn presence, podcast, and earned media.

Revenue model

1. Corporate Partnerships: The largest portion of JINC's revenue comes from approximately 950 landelijke, regionale, and lokale businesses and public institutions that provide financial contributions. These corporate partners also supply volunteer professionals for JINC's programs, keeping program delivery costs low.
2. Foundation and Fund Grants: JINC receives contributions from national and regional foundations and funds including Adessium Foundation, Fonds 21, Goldsmeding Foundation, ING Nederland Fonds, Oranjefonds, Rabobank, Vodafone Foundation, VSB-Fonds, and Postcode Loterij. These are typically periodic or project-based grants.
3. Municipal Contributions: JINC receives occasional (incidentele) contributions from municipalities as part of social return on investment (SROI) and social policy initiatives.
4. Individual Donations and Legacies: JINC accepts one-time and periodic donations from individuals, which are tax-deductible given JINC's ANBI (public benefit institution) status. Individuals can also leave a bequest (nalaten) to JINC.

Core offering

JINC delivers a portfolio of career orientation and labor market preparation programs that connect Dutch primary and vocational school students from disadvantaged backgrounds with volunteer professionals from the business world. Programs include workplace visits (Bliksemstage), vocabulary excursions (TaalTrip), interview training (Sollicitatietraining), career coaching (Carrière Coach), multi-year study choice guidance (Weten Wat Je Wil), a primary school learning pathway (JINC Wizzie), and networking skills training (NetwerkWijzer), all delivered free to schools and students through seven regional offices and approximately 950 corporate partners.

Product overview

JINC operates as a single unified program — a portfolio of complementary career orientation and youth development projects — rather than a software platform with modules. The core offering consists of seven named programs: Bliksemstage (workplace visits), TaalTrip (vocabulary excursions), Sollicitatietraining (interview training), Carrière Coach (career coaching), Weten Wat Je Wil (multi-year coaching pathway), JINC Wizzie (primary school learning pathway combining regular projects with exclusive modules in finance, culture, nutrition, and planning), and NetwerkWijzer (networking skills). These programs are sequenced across age groups from primary school through vmbo/mbo and are delivered through partnerships with businesses (providing volunteer professionals) and schools. The programs are supported by internal portals (LINC for project planning, Mijn JINC for volunteers and teachers) and supplemented by Good Habitz e-learning for staff development.
