SBB
The Foundation for Cooperation on Vocational Education, Training and the Labour Market (SBB) was establised by the business community and vocational training providers. Together they work on themes such as the qualifications framework, examinations, vocational workplace training and the training offering in order to optimise transitions from education to the labour market. The ultimate goal: to ensure that the right numbers of people are trained at the right level of expertise.
National Reference Point in the Netherlands
The National Reference Point (NRP) is the contact point for anyone looking for information on professional and vocational education in the Netherlands and other European countries.
The NRP for the Netherlands is part of the Department of International Credential Evaluation at Colo and its task is to improve the transparency of national qualifications and therefore also work and study mobility within the European Union.
