The aim of this evaluation research is to gain insight into the quantitative and qualitative results and outcomes of the program "Toptechniek in Bedrijf" (TiB), the different components of TiB, and the efforts and role of Platform Beta Techniek. Based on the results of the evaluation research, a decision will be made about the continuity or a potential follow-up of the program.
The program involves collaboration among businesses, educational institutions, and the government to ensure a sufficient number of well-trained technical personnel (from pre-vocational education and training to secondary vocational education) now and in the future. The focus is on the Top Sectors. The program consists of two lines:
- Pre-vocational and vocational technical education: aimed at developing the craftsmanship route (a continuous pathway up to secondary vocational education levels 2 and 3) and the technology route (a continuous pathway up to secondary vocational education level 4), which aim to enhance the attractiveness of the learning process and strengthen collaboration between pre-vocational and vocational institutions. An efficient offer of educational programs in the region is also a goal.
- Centres for innovative craftsmanship (CIV): these centres, where entrepreneurs, scientists, teachers, and students collaborate, focus on enhancing the quality of technical education. The first four centres for innovative craftsmanship officially started in 2011. Currently, there are approximately thirty active centres spread across the country.
