Platform Mobiliteit en Transport

What Platform Mobiliteit en Transport does

Platform Mobiliteit en Transport (legal name: Stichting Platform vmbo Mobiliteit en Transport, DBA: Platform M&T) is a Dutch foundation founded around 1999 that operates as the dedicated national network for VMBO (pre-vocational secondary) schools offering the Mobiliteit en Transport (Mobility and Transport) profile. The foundation is registered in Bergen op Zoom, North Brabant, and operates with approximately 5 staff, a chairperson (Barbara Baelemans), a national coordinator (Erwin Heuvelmans), a regional coordinator for the North (Leon Bijl), and a vacant regional coordinator position for the South. It is governed as a member-supported foundation with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Its core offerings are organized around teacher professionalization and community coordination rather than proprietary technology. Products include the annual Landelijke Dag national conference (2026 edition scheduled for October 8 at Aeres Tech & Het Stroom in Ede), regional network meetings in the Noord and Zuid regions, the semi-annual 'Let's Move' digital magazine (hosted on FlipHtml5), a digital newsletter published ten times per year, the Bijscholing vmbo M&T teacher training program delivered with bijscholingvmbo.nl, and a publicly accessible school overview database with regional mapping. Underlying technology is limited to a WordPress-based website, standard Google analytics tooling, the Mailmanager email platform, and LinkedIn as the primary social channel; the platform explicitly does not develop proprietary technology products.

Revenue is generated through annual membership fees charged to VMBO schools offering the M&T profile (€1,075 per school for the full 2025 service package), with reduced rates available to praktijkonderwijs schools and individual lower-grade technology teachers. The go-to-market is community-led: schools join as members, are supported by regional coordinators, and participate in national events, curriculum pilots (notably the new learning pathway 'Nieuwe Leerweg' piloted with Gilde Vakcollege Gorinchem, Gerrit Komrij College Winterswijk, and Tessenderlandt Breda), and co-financed STO initiatives (with Stichting OOMT). Strategic partnerships with SLO (curriculum), Cito (examination expertise), Voion (workplace safety), SBB (competence standards), STL (transport/logistics), BOVAG (automotive), Fedecom (agri-technology), Fontys (teacher training), and Aeres Tech & Het Stroom (event hosting) anchor the platform's role between government, industry, and education.
