The world is changing faster and faster because of new technology. This development is creating fundamentally new types of jobs that need different skills or call for different ways of learning.
Organizations on the Marineterrein are working together to develop smart solutions that will help people gain the tools they need. For example, you can follow a revolutionary programming course with no need for prior training or education.
By devising, testing, and applying new ways of learning, we want to make sure our society, our city, and our neighbourhood are better able to cope these rapid changes.
