“Learning becomes part of your business model.” Around 70 experts explored opportunities and new learning approaches in five workshops covering: how to effectively design training challenges, how learning can be combined with work, skills-based matching, insights from science on accelerating transitions, and the question: if we were to rethink learning from scratch, how would we shape it?

Around forty learning advisors from companies and educational experts explored the consortium’s learning approach. At four inspiration tables, two companies at a time – for example, Vitens and Kuijpers Installaties – shared their challenges. They identified the similarities and explored with the listeners what LLO could mean in this context.

During this mini-conference, the structure of the first three projects was shared. Together, participants explored current needs and discussed why this lifelong learning (LLO) collaboration in the Utrecht region is so valuable for employers. “Transitions are like playing simultaneous chess,” explains Utrecht University lecturer Marie-Jeanne Schiffelers. “You build on small successes, learn from them, and they give you the energy to move forward together.”
