Fast Switch
In the business sector, there is a strong need for well-trained employees who can tackle today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. Due to this need, the demand for reskilling is high. FastSwitch contributes to labour market mobility in Twente by developing a methodology and testing, through pilot projects, how a switch to an in-demand profession can be successful. Reskilling and upskilling are used as part of Lifelong Learning to support this transition.
Working as a Data Analyst through FastSwitch
Erwin Sinnige is one of the Twente residents benefiting from FastSwitch. In just six months, he is retraining from teacher to data analyst. “I came across FastSwitch through an advertisement,” Erwin explains. His education level and work experience aligned with the role he had in mind, and after completing a case study, he was invited to an introductory session. “Through speed-dating sessions, I met several companies, and they got to know me to see if there was mutual interest. Eventually, I joined Datogether.”
Erwin now works three days a week, attends a data analyst course at Saxion one day a week, and uses the fifth day for homework and self-study.
