We are working hard on the establishment of our new Regional Training School, which from academic year 2026-2027 will encompass all schools affiliated with the ROWF and AONHW. This school will be a partnership between teacher training colleges and secondary vocational (mbo) and pre-vocational (vo) schools in our region. Students will complete their internships at one of the schools and receive intensive on-the-job supervision. The Regional Training School focuses on training within schools, with practical experience at its core, connected to research and educational development.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Until AOHNW and ROWF actually merge, you can go to both schools.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMore information about AONHW and ROWF<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
