Integrative learning to improve connection with labour market

Many humanities graduates find work in digital heritage, but a good pedagogical model to match education is lacking.

Recipients of these grants are given funding to innovate or improve secondary vocational education (MBO) or education at a university of applied sciences (HBO) or research university (WO).

The ultimate aim is to produce a toolkit full of best practices that other lecturers can use.
