• Jobfactory Helmond: Local Helmond-based work-experience provider that partners with SWV Helmond-Peelland VO on the Plusvoorziening program. Operates in the same regional inclusion-and-youth-employment space and intersects the SWV's student population.

Direct peers

• Ouder- en Jeugdsteunpunt Zuid-Oost-Brabant: Regional parent and youth support point linked directly from SWV Helmond-Peelland VO's homepage. It complements the SWV by supporting parents navigating passend onderwijs and special-needs placement, serving the same families and schools in the Helmond-Peelland region.
• Samenwerkingsverband Utrecht PO/VO: A combined primary/secondary Dutch samenwerkingsverband in the Utrecht region with the same coordination and TLV responsibilities under passend onderwijs. Comparable in mission, structure, and statutory function.
• Samenwerkingsverband PO Helmond-Peelland: The primary-education counterpart of SWV Helmond-Peelland VO. It is a directly comparable Dutch samenwerkingsverband covering the same nine municipalities and jointly develops the 'Vast en zeker naar het vo' primary-to-secondary transition framework, making it the closest functional and geographic peer.
• Samenwerkingsverband Amsterdam-Diemen VO: Larger Dutch secondary-education samenwerkingsverband in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. It operates the same passend onderwijs coordination mandate and is functionally identical in role — making it a directly comparable, larger-scale peer.

It offers the same combination of TLV allocation, support arrangements, and Adviesteam-style advisory services, making it a directly comparable regional model in a different Dutch sub-region.

Broad incumbents

• Erie 1 BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services): US-based regional educational services agency that provides special-education coordination, professional development, and shared services across multiple school districts. Structurally analogous to a Dutch samenwerkingsverband VO under the passend onderwijs framework.

Regional players

Comparable in regional scope and stakeholder overlap, though focused on care rather than education.

Others

• Onderwijsgeschillen: National Dutch organization hosting the Landelijke Bezwaaradviescommissie Toelaatbaarheidsverklaring (LBT), which hears appeals against TLV decisions issued by SWVs including Helmond-Peelland VO. An institutional counterparty that operates in the same special-education placement appeals ecosystem.
