''The Bachelor International Development Management at VHL has given me a broad base for field and strategic work.''
Graduate Wouter Bokdam works at Care Netherlands. "As a Disaster Risk Reduction Advisor, I work on increasing the resilience of the people most vulnerable to natural disasters like cyclones, floods, earthquakes and the effects of climate change."
"We train development workers to initiate sustainable projects that can withstand natural disasters. For example, reinforced hospital buildings in earthquake-sensitive areas, cyclone shelters that can also serve as schools, evacuation routes and warning systems for regions at risk from tsunamis, planting trees on steep slopes in order to prevent land slips."
"My study programme at VHL has given me a broad foundation which makes it easy for me to work with people in the field, while also being active at a strategic level to create more awareness and understanding of the importance of my professional field for achieving the United Nations millennium goals."
