Beroepscampus

What Beroepscampus does

Beroepscampus is a Dutch vocational education campus located at Langeweg 111, 3245 KG Sommelsdijk (Middelharnis), Netherlands, operating as a multi-institutional consortium rather than a single corporate entity. It integrates 8 vmbo professional profiles (Bouwen Wonen & Interieur, Dienstverlening & Producten, Economie & Ondernemen, Groen, Horeca en Bakkerij & Recreatie, Mobiliteit & Transport, Produceren Installeren & Energie, and Zorg & Welzijn) and multiple mbo sectors delivered through partner institutions: RGO Middelharnis and CSG Prins Maurits for vmbo, and Albeda, Lentiz, Bouwmensen Zuid-West, and Techniek College Rotterdam for mbo. The physical campus features a Techlab (Energy and Technology, including a Huis van de Toekomst), a Skillslab (Care and Welfare), a Beursvloer (Service and Trade exhibition floor), and Beroepscampus West (a practical workshop for construction and green programmes opened October 2023), with a planned greenhouse.

The campus operates under a three-O governance model uniting Onderwijs (education), Overheid (government), and Ondernemers (business), with the Federatie Ondernemersverenigingen Goeree-Overflakkee (FOGO) representing regional business interests and the municipality Goeree-Overflakkee providing land, funding, and strategic oversight. Educational delivery follows a continuous learning pathway (doorlopende leerlijn) from vmbo through mbo, supported by hands-on workshops, company visits, internships, branchetafel networking events, and the Beroep in Beeld career orientation programme.

Beroepscampus does not generate independent revenue. Its operations are funded by Dutch government vocational subsidies, national Sterk Techniekonderwijs (STO) programme grants, and municipality Goeree-Overflakkee contributions. The only direct commercial activity is rental of three offices and three meeting rooms to businesses on campus, with rates referenced via a price list document. Construction of the campus began November 2019; phase 1 opened January 2021, phase 2 (Noord) opened September 2022, and the practical workshop opened October 2023. In September 2025, the municipal council approved funding for further expansion due to growing student numbers and capacity constraints.
