Stichting Praktijkleren supports regional training centres in the field of in-school and out-of-school work-based learning. 

The motto of Stichting Praktijkleren is ‘From, for and by the educational sector’. In the Netherlands 42 regional training centres for secondary vocational education (98% of the total number nationwide) with a department for Economic-administrative and Security are member of Stichting Praktijkleren.

Stichting Praktijkleren came into being on the initiative of the regional training centres (roc’s) and closely collaborates with teachers from 41 of these centres.
Some 170 co-workers are involved with Stichting Praktijkleren, of which 110 are seconded from the regional training centres. In this way Stichting Praktijkleren keeps well-informed of the changing wished and demands of the secondary vocational sector.

In collaboration with the teachers Stichting Praktijkleren develops examination products and vocational learning products.
In addition to his teachers can also turn to Stichting Praktijkleren for support in the form of training and workshops on cross-curricular and specific subjects.
Stichting Praktijkleren also offers advice on content and method of counseling. In this way Stichting Praktijkleren contributes substantially to vocational learning in secondary vocational education.

“Stichting Praktijkleren is the pivot in the coorperation between the regional training centres.” [Jacques Cratsborn, course manager Economic Administrative Education, ROC Arcus College, Heerlen, the Netherlands]
