VAKlab

The VAKlab positions itself as a hub around craftsmanship in Limburg. By doing so, they want to make the step to entrepreneurship more concrete and accessible. The project focuses on informing, motivating and sensitising professionals in a group to start as entrepreneurs.
A learning network is formed with experience groups in which opportunities to work together are strongly encouraged. They do this from a service and expertise centre that connects relevant partners and projects around craftsmanship. They bundle and unlock the accumulated expertise around craftsmanship and offer the opportunity to experiment with this knowledge within various working groups. Sharing experiences and detecting opportunities for cooperation is the main task of this learning network. This takes the form of a group training to start as an entrepreneur, passe-partout sessions to share operational knowledge within a learning network and group sessions: tips from the master, within which tips and tricks are exchanged within a mastery.
