Vocational School Logistics De Kempen | KLG Europe

20 February 2025

As the initiator, we at KLG Europe are extremely proud of the establishment of the Vocational School Logistics in De Kempen. Together with other logistics companies from the region and Summa College, we are working towards a future where well-trained logistics personnel are at the core. The vocational school has its designated spot in our building at our location in Eersel during class days. On practical days, the students visit other companies to apply the theory in practice.

The logistics sector is growing rapidly, partly due to developments in the Brainport region. The demand for qualified employees is therefore increasing significantly. At the same time, we are seeing a decline in the number of students choosing a career in transport and logistics. With the establishment of this vocational school, we aim to address this challenge. Starting in August 2025, we will offer practical education for BBL students in collaboration with Summa College and other logistics companies from De Kempen. In this way, students can learn and work to develop into logistics employees or road transport drivers.

Investing in Talent and Growth

At KLG Europe, we believe that collaboration and talent development are essential for future-proofing our sector. By combining practical experience with education, we ensure that students are immediately prepared for the labor market. Together with Summa College and companies such as Van Dingenen Transport, Van der Heijden Transport & Logistics, The Schippers Group, and VGL Logistics, we offer a strong learning and working trajectory where theory and practice seamlessly combine.

In addition to practical lessons, we offer flexible learning opportunities, such as e-learning and guidance by practical trainers. Students receive intensive support to maximize their potential. Yvonne Peeters – KLG Europe: "With this initiative, we are not only shaping the future of our sector but also investing in people, growth, and innovation."
