Mundus College receives ESF Subsidy for Employment Transition
The Minister for Poverty Policy, Participation, and Pensions has, in the school year 2022-2023, also made ESF (European Social Fund) subsidies available to the Municipality of Amsterdam for the benefit of PrO/vso (Practical Education and Preparatory Secondary Vocational Education).
Mundus College is investing the ESF funds in employment transition and sustainable job placement for its own students. The ESF funds are utilized to continually enhance the connection with the regional job market through up-to-date practical subjects, industry courses, and internships. The goal is to increase the employment opportunities for our students.
European Social Fund
The ESF is the main European instrument to support employment, help people find work, and ensure fair employment opportunities for all EU citizens.
For the Netherlands, approximately 400 million ESF subsidies have been reserved for the 2021-2027 period (ESF+ program). The subsidy is distributed among the 35 labor market regions in the Netherlands. The government aims to maximize the participation of people in society, including in the labor market. However, young people from vso and PrO encounter various obstacles in securing employment. An integrated approach and a smooth transition from school to work are crucial for these young people. They require additional support to secure and maintain a place in the job market. The ESF subsidy serves as a financial incentive to further address these challenges.

Mundus College Wins Ajax Foundation Project "S'Cool"!
Several of our classes participated in the Ajax Challenge, a lesson and exercise program based on the core values of Ajax. During this program, which took place both in school and in the ArenA, young people were inspired to push themselves to the maximum and develop their talents. In the educational program of the Ajax Foundation, Ajax was presented as a powerful metaphor. Students from different Amsterdam schools gained insight into the core values of Ajax. Ajax introduced the students to "Our recipe for winning."Once the students understood how the winning recipe works at Ajax, they were asked to formulate their own school core values. The young people set a goal on the horizon: What do you want to achieve? What do you need for it? Where are you now? What is the first step? How do you want to achieve it, and does it align with who you want to be? Does it match your core values, your recipe for winning?
Under the guidance of Mrs. Soukaina, the students of class 4D1 ultimately emerged as the most successful! They used our Mundus core values GRAS as their starting point and added their own interpretation.
On Friday, March 17th, a delegation from Ajax, including former international player Daphne Koster and stadium announcer Rob van Rossum, visited to declare our students as the winners!
It's clear that all the staff members are incredibly proud!
