The training market for working people must become more dynamic. The importance of training for the working population is increasing; at the same time, however, the training participation rate in the Netherlands is showing signs of stagnation. Training providers must do more to key into the rapidly changing requirements of enterprises, workers and job-seekers. They must also guarantee that their programmes and courses are of good quality, transparent, and accessible. Those demanding training must in turn make their training requirements clear, and they must do a better job of coordinating their demand. These are the conclusions of an advisory report concerning the training market for working people issued by the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands.
