What Vocampus does

Vocampus is a Dutch public secondary education foundation (Stichting @voCampus) that operates a network of 13 secondary schools in the Nijmegen and Land van Maas en Waal region of the Netherlands. The legal entity was established through an amendment to articles of association effective July 1, 2024, consolidating governance across the member schools: Canisius College, Citadel College, Het Rijks, Jorismavo, Kandinsky College Nijmegen, Kandinsky Molenhoek, Maaswaal College, Mondial College, NSG Groenewoud, Pax Christi College, Pontem College, SSgN, and Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen. The organization delivers the full secondary education spectrum, spanning vmbo (preparatory secondary vocational education), havo (higher general secondary education), and vwo (pre-university education), with programs that include international tracks, technical education, and specialized support for students facing additional challenges.

The foundation's value proposition centers on cross-school collaboration rather than competition, enabling educators, schedulers, team leaders, mentors, technicians, and caretakers to share resources and professional development across the network. The curriculum is co-developed with regional partners including Radboud University Nijmegen, local businesses, and youth care organizations (Jeugdzorg), creating real-world learning pathways. The organization is currently mid-restructuring: Dominicus College closed in August 2024, Mondial College is being relocated to the former Dominicus building in 2025, and a VIA-T TechHub for technical education is scheduled to launch on April 14, 2026. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors chaired by Karin van Oort (appointed November 7, 2024) and supervised by a Supervisory Board (Raad van Toezicht).

Vocampus operates as a non-profit foundation under Dutch law, funded primarily through government allocations tied to student enrollment, with no commercial pricing model or revenue disclosed. Its target customer segments are secondary school students, their families, and the educational staff serving them. Distribution is entirely through direct enrollment at the 13 schools, with no commercial sales motion or technology platform; the only digital touchpoints are the corporate website (vocampus.nl) and a recruitment portal (werkenbijvocampus.nl). Technology does not play a meaningful role in the current operating model, and no AI/ML, proprietary software, APIs, or data products are part of the offering.
