Stichting Mobiliteitsleren

What Stichting Mobiliteitsleren does

Stichting Mobiliteitsleren (SML) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Nieuwegein that operates as the national coordination platform between Dutch secondary vocational education (MBO) and the automotive and mobility industry. Founded and governed jointly by BOVAG (the Dutch trade association representing ~9,000 mobility businesses), Innovam (the sector's knowledge and training institute), and 25+ participating Regional Training Centers (ROCs), SML functions as a 'loketfunctie' — a single point of contact that aggregates industry expertise and routes it into vocational curricula for motor vehicles, bodywork (carrosserie), and two-wheelers (bicycles and e-bikes).

SML's core offerings consist of four product lines: (1) teacher professionalization training (Docententraining Mobiliteitstechniek) delivered through importeur-led programs on emerging technologies including EV, hybrid, hydrogen, e-bike, and high-voltage diagnostics at venues such as Volvo Beesd, Stellantis Houten, Hyundai Sassenheim, Mercedes-Benz Nijkerk, Toyota Raamsdonksveer, Pon Leusden, Shimano Hattem, and Bosch/Innovam Nieuwegein; (2) annual learning materials price lists (Lesmateriaal) for MBO students in motor vehicles, bodywork, and two-wheelers; (3) keuzedelen (elective module) curriculum development and exam coordination; and (4) a curated catalog of external training providers. Underlying technology is minimal — there is no proprietary platform; operations rely on a teacher login portal, email newsletters distributed via eepurl.com, and Jotform-based registration.

SML is funded primarily through capped annual membership contributions from ROC schools (€31.20 per DUO learner, capped at 100 learners per school, plus €10.40 per system-participating learner) and pay-as-you-go training fees ranging from €210/day (Bosch eBike) to €684/day (Volvo non-members) per participant. The foundation is VAT-exempt as of 1 January 2023. With 7 employees and a secretariat co-located at Innovam's Nieuwegein facility, SML operates as a lean coordination body rather than a scaled enterprise.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Techniek Nederland: Dutch trade association for the installation and technology sector. Operates a parallel industry-education coordination role for technical MBO programs, with comparable governance (employer associations + schools) and curriculum coordination responsibilities.
• CINOP: Dutch educational support organization providing advice, training, and program development for schools and vocational institutions. Listed among SML's external opleider partners and operates in a similar educational-support role across sectors.
• SBB (Samenwerkingsorganisatie Beroepsonderwijs Bedrijfsleven): National Dutch body coordinating vocational education and labor market (kwalificatiestructuur). SML develops keuzedelen in coordination with SBB; SML operates as a sector-specific instantiation of SBB's broader industry-education coordination model.

Emerging players

• Autoniveau: Dutch external training provider offering technical and commercial training for MBO mobility teachers. Listed in SML's external training catalog; provides overlapping training content to the same teacher audience without SML's coordination umbrella.
• EV Kenniscentrum: Stichting commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure to provide free EV teaching materials to vocational institutions. Listed as an external opleider partner of SML and a potential direct competitor in EV-specific curriculum content.

Direct peers

• Kenteq: Former knowledge center for the Dutch mobility/automotive sector (MBO, carrosserie, tweewielers), now part of the broader sector-education coordination infrastructure. Comparable in domain (mobility vocational education) and target audience (MBO schools and teachers).
• A+O Metalektro: Dutch HR and education fund for the metal and electro-technical sector, coordinating industry contributions to training and curriculum. Closer structural analog to SML than a generic peer because it sits at the industry-MBO intersection for a specific sector.
• Innovam: Dutch knowledge and training institute for the mobility sector. SML's secretariat is co-located at Innovam's Nieuwegein facility and Innovam provides operational back-office support; BOVAG-/industry-sector representation overlaps substantially with SML's mission.
• Bouwradius: Sector-education coordination platform for the Dutch construction/infrastructure MBO sector. Same institutional model as SML (foundation governed by industry + schools + knowledge center) applied to a different vertical; useful comparable for cross-sector education-industry coordination.

Others

• Fontys Hogescholen: Large Dutch university of applied sciences offering mobility / automotive engineering programs. Listed as an external opleider for SML teacher training; relevant as an adjacent educational provider serving the same vocational mobility audience, though at a higher (higher-ed) tier.
