Have you ever considered teaching?
Education defines what tomorrow’s world will look like. Teachers play a significant role in this. Have you ever had a teacher who was an amazing storyteller or one who was able to turn a difficult subject into an enjoyable one? Teachers like that make a huge difference and leave a memorable impression. Become a teacher yourself and inspire a new generation. Want to learn more? Join an information session of one of our the teaching programmes or visit the information booth.
Note: our teacher training programmes are taught in Dutch and train you to become a teacher in secondary school education in the Netherlands.
