The demand for technical professionals is becoming increasingly urgent. In the last quarter of 2017, the UWV estimated there were 13,300 open vacancies for ICT professions and 60,800 for technical professions. That is why the partners of the Technology Pact announced today that they aim to achieve results faster in four key areas.
The Minister of Education, Culture and Science and the State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy received "the National Technology Pact - Focus and Accelerate".
Concrete actions have been agreed upon for the following four urgent themes:
- Increase inflow into technology and engineering
- Enhance industry involvement in technical education
- Promote Lifelong Learning in technology and engineering
- Reduce teacher shortage in technology
Since 2015, Dialogic has been supporting Platform Beta Technology in monitoring the progress of the Technology Pact. Dialogic's role involves processing the education data from the Education Executive Agency (DUO) and the education-labour market analyses from Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Since 2015, Platform Beta Technology has been using Dialogic's data platform to visualise the results.
