You can switch to a longer-term permit such as the highly skilled migrant permit, often at a reduced salary threshold for recent graduates.
The orientation year is designed to lead into stable employment or business activity. The most common next step is the highly skilled migrant permit once you have a qualifying job offer.
A notable benefit is that people who use the orientation year route can often qualify for the highly skilled migrant permit under the lower salary criterion that applies to recent graduates, rather than the standard higher threshold. Other options after the orientation year include the start-up permit or the self-employed permit if you intend to run your own business.
