Building the IX talent pool, public and private together
Learning communities connect universities of applied sciences, universities, MBO practorates, training providers and industry frontrunners. Together you develop modules, curricula and a skills framework so that IX becomes structurally embedded in the Dutch workforce.
Now open for Talent & Skills:
IX education is a public-private effort
To grow the Dutch IX talent pool, CIIIC invests through Action line 2 in a shared education landscape, in which education, research, industry frontrunners and civil society organisations work side by side.
Learning communities are at the heart of it: this is where educational institutions and practice bring concrete questions together, develop modules, and maintain an up-to-date skills framework. Around them, market-oriented training modules and training vouchers provide scale, so IX competencies run from MBO and HBO through postgraduate education and into the workplace.
How we work on Talent & Skills
Learning Communities
6–12 public-private learning networks in which educational institutions, practorates, companies and civil society organisations work together on practical questions, modules and curricula.
Market-oriented training modules
From 15 to 30 practice-oriented training modules, developed with industry frontrunners and directly matching demand from the field.
Training 10,000 professionals
Training vouchers and open modules through which 10,000 professionals are upskilled and reskilled in IX competencies over the course of CIIIC.

How do you form a Learning Community?
A Learning Community calls for a public-private consortium. Here is how to take the right steps.
- 01
Choose the right Talent & Skills instrument
A Learning Community calls for a consortium; training vouchers are there for individual professionals, and with market-oriented training modules you develop new offerings. Decide which instrument fits your ambition.
- 02
Form a public-private consortium
A strong Learning Community combines education (universities of applied sciences, vocational colleges, universities, practorates) with research, industry frontrunners and civil society organisations. Look for partners whose expertise complements your own.
- 03
Formulate a shared practical question
Start from a concrete IX question from the field. That question becomes the thread running through the modules, the curriculum and the teacher professionalisation you develop together.
- 04
Prepare your application with Regieorgaan SIA
Use the matchmaking and information sessions run by Regieorgaan SIA to strengthen your consortium and application before the call closes.
What does a Learning Community deliver?
Structural collaboration between education, research, frontrunners and civil society organisations delivers lasting value.
- Structural collaboration between education, research, businesses and civil society organisations
- Curriculum and modules that match current practical questions from the IX field directly
- Teacher professionalisation and the exchange of teaching methods around immersive experiences
