VDK enrolled her in a 3-month "Digital Assistant" trajectory. Today, Fatima works 24 hours a week as a remote executive assistant for a tech startup in Ghent. She manages calendars, handles customer support via chat, and does social media scheduling—all from her laptop.
Here is how VDK is adapting to the rise of remote work and helping job seekers in Vlaanderen build sustainable careers online. The pandemic broke the psychological barrier that work had to be done in a physical office. Now, VDK recognizes that "mobility" isn't just about trains and bikes—it’s about internet speed and digital literacy.
