Students receive the best possible practical training with prospects of a job, and companies can employ professionals that they need, now and in the future. These are the objectives of the Foundation for Cooperation on Vocational Education, Training and Labour Market (SBB). Within SBB, vocational education and training (VET) and the labour market cooperate at national, sectoral and regional level.
As required by the Dutch Act on Adult and Vocational Education, SBB works together with VET schools and the labour market on executing the following legal tasks:
we advise, accredit and coach work placement companies
we develop and maintain the qualification structure
we provide research and information on the labour market, work placement and efficiency of VET-programmes
We also advise the minister of Education, Culture and Science on linking vocational education with the job market.
