Katrien Dingemans counsels vulnerable young people in higher education

For many Antwerp youngsters, the step to higher education is anything but obvious. This may be because of their home situation, their migration background or the fact that they are often the first in their family to start university or college. BASF has been working for several years with the Charlemagne High School and SD Worx on a project that guides these vulnerable young people in their first steps into higher education. The Boost Ambition to A Social Future project (BASF for short) receives financial and practical support from the chemical giant. HR Business Partner workplace learning and education relations Katrien Dingemans oversees the project for BASF. Her efforts earned Dingemans an award as a port heroine.
