Do´s

other.
Don´ts

trained in daily rhythm, sometimes there is extra support from other organisations like Social Work.
When it is clear what kind of school or job one would want to execute in future, the T.O.M.-coach helps
the youngsters to find a learning job in order to practice and see if this will be the final choice to focus on.
The T.O.M.-coach acts as a case manager and keeps an eye on the process of the individual. After having
successfully finished the T.O.M.-programme and the next step has been made to school or to work, then
the coach will still follow the youngster in the first half year after leaving T.O.M.
T.O.M. is voluntary, but it is not without obligations. The youngsters have to make the best out of it to
make good choices and to keep arrangements.
Kind of good practice
Triple Helix Coöperation.
Target group
The target group are companies, educational institutions and
governmental institutions, who are interested in creating a
good functioning regional labour market.
Description
The programme “5* Noordoost Brabant Werkt!” has a
mission to work together with the triple helix (Entrepreneurs,
Government and Education) on a better functioning Regional
Labour market.
We have divided the labour market in five promising economic sectors. Each sector has its own specific
problems and initiates projects in cooperationwith the TripleHelix to improve the sector. The entrepreneurs
are in the lead. They can point out the priorities of their sector. Some sectors can’t find enough staff,
because of lack of people with the right education or the lack of interest in the sector.
The development in the Labour Market is going fast and schools cannot always keep up. We start projects
to develop new educational programmes to educate the sitting and future staff.
5* Noordoost Brabant Werkt!
Aims
There are 4 challenges:
• Stronger economic sectors
through the presence of
enough and well-educated
staff.
• Promising jobs and sectors.

market.
