dc.description.abstractThis research introduces a new piece of generation movement terminology: YTP, Young Transnational Professionals. YTP’s are highly skilled professionals who are entering the labour market with small working experience but a great deal of ambition. The focus of the research is on the mobility of Dutch-Ghanaian Young Professionals with roots in Ghana. The research aims to provide insight into the mobility of Young Transnational Professionals in association to companies related to the Netherlands and located in Accra. The in-between space where the YTP find themselves, - Ghana versus the Netherlands- can be confusing and give the feeling of being lost in the identity. YTP’s experience exclusion and discrimination on personal as well business related environments. Although YTPs use the acceptation of the hybrid identity to strengthen their dynamic transnational network. In addition, the gained Dutch education and work experiences impact the YTP in their mobilisation process and position towards companies. The YTP’s transnational network provide transnational connections between local, national and international environments. The impact exists out of flexibility, sensibility, patience and independence that the YTP offers to companies, this all with a great empathy for both countries, whereby the YTP can build bridges between both associates.en_US
