Challenge

The technical sector in Flevoland is facing an imminent shortage of technicians between now and 2020. The current supply is insufficient with approximately half of the required thousand well-trained technicians per year, of which two-thirds are 'supplied' through secondary vocational education MBO.

Solution

To achieve +100 outflow, investments will be made in recruitment and in new educational innovations (skills labs, internship models, new associate degrees) for a better connection between education and the labour market.

Role of the HealthFactory

The HealthFactory specifically supports the integration of care technology in the technical training by setting up a skills lab with the help of partner Cinnovate.

Initiator

This Regional Innovation Fund (RIF MBO) project is an initiative of ROC van Flevoland
