Reiswerk

What Reiswerk does

Reiswerk (legal name Stichting Reiswerk) is a Dutch foundation established in 2008 that operates as the official labor market fund for the Netherlands travel sector. The organization serves four stakeholder groups: travel industry employers, their employees, job seekers, and educational institutions. Its service portfolio spans the full employment lifecycle, including recruitment support via the largest Dutch travel-sector vacancy bank, an online learning platform (Travel College, co-developed with SkillsTown) offering free e-learnings, webinars and podcasts, labor market research (Arbeidsmarktmonitor and Imago-onderzoek), onboarding and offboarding services, retraining (omscholing), occupational health guidelines (Arbocatalogus), and the Reiswerk Young Talent Programme (a six-month development track priced at €1,775 for CAO members and €1,975 for non-members).

Reiswerk is funded through a sector-wide mechanism: employers covered by the CAO reisbranche (collective labor agreement for the travel industry) pay recurring premiums that finance all of Reiswerk's services, with all employees of contributing employers automatically gaining access to the platform. The organization is governed jointly by employer representatives (appointed via ANVR, the Dutch association of travel companies) and trade union representatives (CNV, FNV), giving it structural sector legitimacy. A new premium structure took effect on January 1, 2026, designed to make the fund future-proof through the next CAO cycle (which runs July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026). Operations are run by a small team (1–10 employees) headquartered at Storkstraat 24, Leusden, with no disclosed revenue figures.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen): Dutch national employee insurance agency administering unemployment benefits, workforce reintegration, and the Werk.nl job platform. Comparable in that it pools Dutch workforce funding and provides employment-related services, though at a much broader cross-sector scale.
• Tempo-Team: Major Dutch staffing firm under Randstad's HR Solutions portfolio, providing temporary staffing, recruitment, and HR services. Overlaps with Reiswerk's vacancy bank and labor market research through its workforce placement capabilities.
• Hays Netherlands: International recruitment specialist with significant Dutch operations, focusing on professional and specialist recruitment. Comparable as a recruitment partner serving travel and adjacent sectors via talent placement and workforce insights.
• Randstad: Largest Dutch staffing and recruitment firm operating across all sectors including travel and hospitality. Comparable through its vacancy marketplace, HR services, and workforce mobility offerings that overlap with Reiswerk's recruitment and reskilling work.

Emerging players

• Springest (Ontolearning): Dutch learning marketplace comparing and aggregating professional training courses. Comparable to Travel College through its role as an aggregator of workforce development content, with overlap in travel-sector training audiences.
• GoodHabitz: Dutch-founded corporate online learning platform offering e-learning courses across many disciplines. Directly comparable to Reiswerk's Travel College in product model (online learning for workforce development) and increasingly competing for the same Dutch upskilling budgets.

Others

• ABU (Algemene Bond Uitzendondernemingen): Dutch trade association for staffing agencies, representing collective employer interests and engaging with CAO structures. Comparable to Reiswerk's role as a sector workforce governance body, though ABU represents staffing firms broadly rather than a single industry vertical.

Direct peers

• KHN (Koninklijke Horeca Nederland): Royal Dutch Hospitality Industry association and partner in the Hospitality Pact with Reiswerk. Operates sector-wide labor market, training, and CAO-related services for hospitality — directly adjacent to Reiswerk's travel-sector mandate and indicative of how tourism-adjacent sector funds are structured.
• SOOB (Stichting Opleidings- en Ontwikkelingsfonds Bouw & Infra): Dutch sectoral training and development fund for the construction and infrastructure industry, structurally identical to Reiswerk: a CAO-mandated Stichting pooling employer premiums to fund training, reskilling, and HR tooling for an entire sector workforce.
• A+O fonds Provincies: Stichting Opleidings- en Ontwikkelingsfonds for the Dutch provincial government sector, applying the same CAO-pooled sector-fund model as Reiswerk to finance training, mobility, and HR development for a defined workforce.
