The Council of Education and Labor Market Caribbean Netherlands (ROA CN) is the Caribbean Expert Agency that aims to establish a connection between vocational education and the labor market. We are commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to carry out certain tasks, which include officially recognizing training companies and mentoring them on activities such as internships and apprenticeships.
We also provide the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science with recommendations about new programs that schools are planning to offer; we look into their relevance for the labor market and their potential effectiveness. Finally, ROA CN is a cooperative organization that helps vocational and business communities to come together in order to strengthen the connection between education and the labor market.
