What mbo Menso Alting Zwolle does

mbo Menso Alting Zwolle is a Christian vocational education institution (mbo) located in Zwolle, Netherlands, established in 2008 and operating as part of the Landstede Groep educational group. The institution delivers secondary vocational education at MBO levels 2-4 across seven program tracks grouped into five sectors: Trade & Commerce (Handel & Commercie), Office & Management, Dienstverlening (Services), Onderwijs & Opvoeding (Education & Childcare), and Zorg & Welzijn (Healthcare & Welfare), plus a foundational Niveau 2 program and an MBO voor werkenden stream for employed adults. Operations are anchored in a Christian faith-based identity articulated through the core values Persoonlijk, Betrokken, Gepassioneerd (Personal, Involved, Passionate) and an explicit emphasis on personal development alongside professional training.

The institution supplements its core programs with practical support services: Beroepspraktijkvorming (BPV / mandatory workplace learning through employer placements), Extra begeleiding (additional student guidance), an Excellentie programma for high-achieving students, and Studiekeuze (career and study choice counseling delivered via dedicated decanen). Marketing and enrollment reach prospective students and parents through a website, Open Days, an Informatiemarkt, a Meelopen shadowing program, and an Educus-powered parent portal. The institution employs approximately 100 staff, operates from a single campus in Zwolle, and has no disclosed subsidiaries, patents, M&A activity, or external investment.

The business model is anchored in regulated Dutch MBO funding through DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs), with tuition regulated by the Dutch government for accredited institutions. Direct paying enrollment comes from working-professional students in the MBO voor werkenden track, while B2B employer relationships — accessed via the Projectbureau voor Bedrijven — provide apprenticeship hosts, internship pipelines, and workforce-development collaboration with regional companies. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the institution is privately held under the Landstede Groep umbrella and reports within the parent group's consolidated jaarverslagen.
