English translation Kellebeek College

At the Kellebeek College we focus on the student's destination: Who do they want to be? What do they want to mean to society? You see this in all our work with all our target groups. We help people to identify their destination and help them, as far as possible, on the road to this destination. We don't do that alone. We work together with our partners to ensure that we are of the biggest possible assistance to our target groups.

Philosophy on people and education
The Kellebeek College is part of ROC West-Brabant and offers tailored education to a variety of target groups of all ages. We have 16 locations in the West-Brabant region. This enables us to practice our core value of 'every person counts'. We want to ensure that all our students are fully equipped to find their particular place in society. Our concept on education is based on this. Internal motivation being the key to personal success. The Kellebeek College, together with the student, identifies a clear destination and we stimulate the student to reach this destination. Our concept on education is continually in full use to ensure the best possible link between the work floor, secondary education, higher education and society.

The destination guarantee:
Our objective is to help students as far as possible along the path to their destination/place in society. That is why the completion of a course does not necessary mean goodbye. Students are welcome, up to five years after the completion of their course, to come back and talk again about their destination, possible new courses or further education. In short, we talk about everything that the student may feel The Kellebeek College can do to assist them to reach these new goals. The Kellebeek College has a destination coordinator for this purpose. With this destination guarantee, we can, in all sincerity, say to the student: Find your destination!

Our destination in the near future:
A new school building is at this moment being built just behind the present Kellebeek College locations, on the Kade in Roosendaal. 'The Social Care and Welfare Boulevard' will be situated in this building. This unusual and special educational concept is being realised together with our associated institutions. From 2013 all our students, regardless of the profession they are training for, or the course they are following, will be able to study in this new multifunctional building. The new building will form the heart of the Stadoevers district.
