On behalf of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Dialogic investigated potential forms of collaboration between ICT training providers and the Dutch government. For the Dutch government to function effectively, it is essential to attract a sufficient number of well-qualified ICT professionals. Collaboration with ICT training providers is one of the strategies outlined in the 'Aanvalsplan Versterking HR ICT' (Attack Plan Strengthening HR ICT) introduced in 2017 by Minister Ollongren. The objective of this research was to assess the existing collaboration tools and structures between ICT training providers and employers in the Netherlands and internationally. Subsequently, the focus shifted to exploring how the partnership between the Dutch government and higher education institutions can be optimised.
