PRIVACY STATEMENT Meet The Youngsters

Who are we?

Meet The Youngsters is an online platform where school pupils, students and recent graduates are brought into contact with companies, organisations and educational institutes. Meet the Youngsters offers both youngsters and employers the possibility to get in contact with each other. On the one hand students are helped with their search for career opportunities and on the other hand companies get the opportunity to grow in their employer branding. Through a personal profile on the platform, students and companies are matched based on study, interests and skills. If there is a match, both the young people and the companies can start an interview. In this service we process personal data. Meet The Youngsters is a trademark of Meet The Talents B.V.
