An important aim of skills development policies is to align technical and vocational education and training (TVET) with the skills demand in the labour market. These policies promote enterprise-TVET collaboration as a means of achieving this goal. But what does this actually mean in practical terms?

The case of a Dutch social housing association and a vocational training centre, described here-below, illustrate what is required to achieve enterprise-TVET collaboration: understanding market needs; developing a joint training programme between the association and the school; and improving the programme on the basis of lessons learned through implementation. It also needs soft skills: passion and dedication towards developing a training programme; skills to engage stakeholders (e.g. teachers, school/enterprise management); and endurance and willpower to overcome difficulties - to name just a few. Many efforts and much time are required, but the implementation of a new programme benefits trainees, enterprises and society as a whole.
