OOMT

What OOMT does

OOMT (Stichting Opleidings- en Ontwikkelingsfonds voor het Motorvoertuigenbedrijf en Tweewielerbedrijf) is a Dutch non-profit foundation established in 1984 by social partners BOVAG (employer organization) and the trade unions FNV Metaal, CNV Vakmensen, and De Unie. Headquartered in Houten, Utrecht, with 54 employees, OOMT delivers vocational training support, talent development, and HR advisory services for the Dutch motor vehicle and two-wheeler sector — covering car dealerships, truck workshops, motorcycle shops, bicycle retailers, caravan centers, and recovery/towing operators. Its service portfolio addresses three stakeholder groups: employers and managers (workforce planning, generational management, EV-transition advisory, Branch RI&E risk assessments, hospitality checks), employees (career coaching, skills recognition/EVC, development pathways, resilience programs), and BBL students and leermeesters (onboarding, mentorship training, career orientation). Productized assets include the OOMT EV-voucher program, the E-certificering curriculum for high-voltage EV work (EV-VOP and EV-VP NEN 9140), and the "Opladen voor de Toekomst" VR Experience that simulates future electrified workshop environments.

OOMT distributes services through a multi-channel infrastructure: a self-serve website (oomt.nl) and Kennisbank, a toll-free Servicedesk (0800-0155), regional field advisors (Adviseurs Werkgeverschap) equipped with VR hardware, a national network of approximately 19 named coaches, and specialized BBL-adviseurs. Marketing channels include the semi-annual Booster magazine, segmented email newsletters, active profiles on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and the Vooruitkijkers career-orientation platform for young entrants. Notable customer engagements span Karsten Caravancentrum, Göritzlehner Truck & Bus, Olsthoorn Truck & Trailer, Autobedrijf Otten, Muntstad, Autoverhuur Diks, and Wolves Mobiliteit — predominantly SMBs in adjacent sub-verticals.

OOMT's revenue model is non-commercial: services to employers, employees, and students are offered free of charge, funded primarily through the cao Sociaal Fonds for the Motorvoertuigen- en Tweewielerbedrijf and co-funded by the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid). This social-partner funding model, embedded in the collective labor agreement and reinforced by tripartite governance, gives OOMT a quasi-statutory sector mandate. The foundation has no equity investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue figures.
