Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills. These deficiencies make it difficult for them to fully participate in society, such as reading and understanding a letter or buying a train ticket, leading to various personal and societal problems.

Eindhoven Engine at successful Fontys Career Event

On 6 October, Eindhoven Engine was present at the Fontys Career Event in the Klokgebouw, Eindhoven, and it was great to be back at onsite events. It was wonderful meeting 800+ enthusiastic students from ‘Fontys Hogeschool Economie en Communicatie’ and informing them about our various assignments from our projects in marketing communication, economics and business administration. It was a successful afternoon and we have made some great possible matches. We are currently following up with interested students and setting up meetings with them and the leaders of the projects.
