POLE: POncin & LEijten
HELLO!
We are Mecheline Leijten and Louis Poncin.
Our Passion
To motivate more young people to choose a technical education. So that they can improve the world with their technical knowledge.
Our Mission
By giving technology a prominent place in all forms of education after primary education, we stimulate the future generation to choose a career in technical fields more often. In this way, they contribute to their own development and the preservation of technical companies in the region.
Education program
Education
We develop teaching materials to increase the attention for technology in secondary education and various vocational training courses, thereby enabling schools to collaborate with the business community.
Imagoverbetering
Technology is hot. And a job in technology guarantees you many years of job satisfaction and a good income.
Parental involvement
Parents also play a very important role in profile and study choices. Because research shows that parents have a lot of influence on the selection process of their children.
The image that parents have of certain educations and professions may not be correct (anymore). But this can change if we support parents in helping them choose.
Craftsmanship
Throughout the ages, craftsmanship was synonymous with working with your hands and natural materials. The time of guilds and brotherhoods. Now we call them craft professions. Craftsmanship has transformed into developing products with knowledge and experience. Central to this is technology, technical skills, often with ICT and electrical knowledge as a basis.
