A labor market that moves with you
Short lines between companies and training
Cooperation between educational institutions, government and industry is close and purposeful. Thanks to these short lines of communication, training courses are constantly tailored to market demand. Practical internships, hybrid learning environments and customized programs ensure that students are immediately employable and companies can scale up quickly.
Future-oriented courses
In Lelystad and the region, companies find a wide range of training programs in logistics, technology, ICT, healthcare and services. From mbo to hbo, educational institutions work on talent that is ready for the future: digitally proficient, practical and used to working with companies.
Employment continuing to grow
The growth of the logistics sector, the development of business parks and investments in energy and infrastructure are structurally creating new jobs. As a result, companies can rely on a labor market that grows with their ambitions. In Flevoland, there is room to work, to learn and to grow.
Growth community with room to live
Lelystad is growing because entrepreneurs, government and developers know how to find each other here. Sharing knowledge, combining ambitions and investing together creates a region that is ready to take the next step.
At the same time, the city is developing as one of the largest growth municipalities in the Netherlands, with an ambitious housing task adding thousands of new homes in the coming years. As a result, not only the number of residents is growing, but also the labor force and talent pool that directly benefits businesses.
This combination of urban growth and economic cooperation makes Lelystad a place where both businesses and residents can build a sustainable future.
