Two heads are better than one, and a new UK skills partnership with the Netherlands will allow both countries to share international best practice to drive up standards in vocational education.
WorldSkills UK and WorldSkills Netherlands will work together to build relationships between industry and education. Through the exchange of knowledge and ideas they aim to raise the profile of skills-based training.
Dr Neil Bentley-Gockmann OBE, CEO of WorldSkills UK, said: “We are delighted to be working with the Netherlands on this exciting new partnership. Both countries will learn from each other to develop the high-quality skills needed for the future of our economies. Our unique insights and work with other countries means we can share international best practice, drive up standards and meet the emerging needs of UK employers.”
