Randstad/Portilog collaboration: 92% trainees find sustainable employment

News about the labour market in and around the port of Antwerp often has a pessimistic tone: reports of a mismatch between jobseekers and profiles sought, of a ‘war for talent’ to link scarce talents to one’s own company and other niceties, are commonplace. Fortunately, we can occasionally tap from a different keg. A master study by the University of Antwerp shows that the training courses organised jointly by Randstad and the training centre Portilog are heading in the right direction. The two organisations have been joining forces for about ten years to prepare students for the logistics sector via short training courses (three weeks). Antwerp plays an important role in this, but there are also training courses in Mechelen, Genk, Ghent and Beveren.
