Hybrid Teachers in Brainport Eindhoven
Hybrid teachers are people from the business world who use their knowledge and practical skills in education. This can be done in various ways: by combining working for a company and teaching, through (structural) guest lectures or by providing teaching modules together with colleagues.
In the Brainport region in 2020, in cooperation with the provence of North Brabant and the Techiekpact, the Hybrid Tech Teacher pilot was launched. Over the past three years, a large number of concrete connections between education and industry have been established. More than 160 hybrid teachers, from over 50 companies, have dedicated themselves to education in the Brainport region. A result we as a region can be proud of!
By now, it is impossible to imagine education in the Brainport region without the hybrid teacher. By using hybrid teachers, educational institutions are in close contact with the business community. This cooperation contributes to the goal of offering young people the best possible opportunities and preparing them well for life after school.
