Situation in the Netherlands

Associate Degree in the Netherlands
• Shorter Higher Education. We call it the Associate Degree
• Intermediate level (5) in the EQF• It is still a pilot, so only certificate and no
formal degree yet. 2010? More and more Ad’s started.
• Extra step in higher education• Based on needs of labour market • Part of a bachelor, 120 ects

Metaalunie and the Ad• Interested in Ad because of:
– Growing need of higher educated people– More influence in higher education– Shorter period(s) of education– Makes metal industry more interesting
• This happened so far– Investigation of needs of the labour market – Agreement with some higher education
institutions– More Ad programs

Investigation of needs• Programs needed for:
– Management, businessmen– Production/project leading in engineering– Commercial technical functions– Intellectual level is needed (problem solving,
communication skills, etc.), not 4 years of higher education.
• Why now? Quality:– Developments in the market – Technological developments (ICT)– Cooperation with / outsourcing to other companies– Professionalising
• Why now? Quantity:– Job vacancies– Retirement– Company sales

What do we want?Flexibility• Different target groups:
– young students from vocational secondary education (and from general secondary education)
– employees with several years of experience
• Assessments for employees• Tailor-made education• E-learning or other solutions for spreading
the education throughout the country

Some difficulties• With autonomy of institutions• Promotion of Ad versus need of
employees right now• Members not very interested in LLL
– Short term vision– Afraid of loosing their employees to
their neighbours– No possibility for function growth
within the company

In short
• Focus on maximum flexibility • More interaction with the industry:
– Content of the educational program (i.e. techniques, competences, case studies)
– Organisation (i.e. evening study, tailor-made education, pr)
– Exchange of people and knowledge

Discussion
• When more Ad’s are granted, how do we cope with that as an employers organisation? Examples?
• How are employers organisations involved in (shorter) higher education in your countries ?
