But what does it stand for?
What is dual learning?
Dual learning is a combination of classical studying at the school desk with practice in the workplace.
The alternative to the classic 'school only' courses or courses with a limited internship component.
Dual learning is a win-win for everyone
- The learner gets closer to the labour market and acquires important basic attitudes combined with practice-oriented knowledge.
- The company can better assess potential employees and address any labour shortages.
- For society, dual learning results in more qualified young people and less youth unemployment.
"Learning in the workplace and in the classroom must together lead the pupil to acquire a full professional qualification."
Professor Luc Sels, chairman of the Flemish Dual Learning Partnership.
