Sustainable Trainings
Sustainable training
Are you still at the beginning of your career or do you want to take a new direction? Training programs help you build a solid foundation for a career in the sustainable sector.
A sustainable education can range from long-term bachelor or master programs at universities and colleges or a more hands-on training at an MBO school.
Retraining to a job in the Sustainable Sector
Retraining programs or Apprenticeships can range from intensive bootcamps
to long-term supervised programs, depending on the needs and background of the participants and providers.The cost of retraining programs can vary and may be covered by the participant themselves, by government grants or by sponsorship from companies and organizations in the sustainability sector. In some cases, retraining programs also offer a salary during the retraining and you go straight into employment. This often includes the condition that you remain employed for a certain period of time after the retraining period.
If you are unemployed and looking for a new sustainable job, there are also many retraining programs that are paid for by the UWV.
