STRATEGY FOR GOAL 2: We develop ourselves and others into transition experts We are serious about the transition. We take up the challenge to tackle climate issues in all their complexity. This is why we need smart, enterprising professionals: they work for us, we train them and we enjoy working with them. The urgency of a sustainability transition means that we are opting for innovation, in order to make the greatest possible contribution to the global, interdisciplinary challenges of the future with the best that we have. This is how we set the bar high. In order to realise transitions, multi-faceted professionalism is necessary. At Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences, we focus on four dimensions: substantive leadership (expertise), social awareness (collaboration), economic sense (profitability), and personal commitment (intrinsic motivation). Over the next decade, the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences aims to develop into a community of continuously evolving transition experts. So the strategy towards 2025 is to develop the four core skills: we continue to lead as content experts, socially conscious, personally engaged and economically sensible.

These are our four goals toward 2025: 1. CONTENT We are realising a distinctive and enthusing educational concept with a content-oriented transition expert profile. Great ideas from the preliminary process: a. In the years 2022 and 2023, we will jointly develop an integral educational vision focusing on the realisation of the transitions as the core theme. In the years 2024 and 2025, we implement this vision for educational development and implementation throughout the organisation. This educational vision includes the following aspects: (1) Studyability (including flexibility, clarity, personalised learning, part-time) (2) Teachability (including limited number of tests, time for deepening) (3) New form of final papers (fewer thesis reports) with more direct relevance to the transitions. (4) The quality of our testing remains high, while the number of tests has been reduced. (5) A practical learning line transition expert (with real assignments from real clients) is a permanent element of every course from the initial propaedeutic year onwards. Each student graduates as a transition expert in a knowledge domain. The final terms and levels of this learning line are the subject of a University-wide discussion. b. We are exploring a broad propaedeutic year for a broader/integral landing, deepening follows subsequently. c. We strengthen the continuous learning lines VO/ MBO-HBO-University/business. We give priority to regional cooperation in project groups of secondary schools, higher vocational and higher professional schools within regional assignments.
