“At Zuyd, I have the freedom to really bring my ideas to life”

The move to Zuyd came after more than 8 years in vocational education. For a provincial entrepreneurship project, Bart collaborated with Zuyd’s Academy of Commercial Economics. That collaboration went so well that a job opening at Zuyd came along at exactly the right time. “Thanks to the great collaboration, the move felt like a logical next step.” Although he had to get used to the culture within the academy at first, one thing stood out immediately: the commitment of his colleagues. “What pleasantly surprised me was how eager people are to help and support you. New colleagues still experience that. You quickly feel welcome here.”
