Forms of Dual Learning?

Dual learning is a form of education in which young people learn both at school and in the workplace. This system combines theory with practice, so that students not only gain knowledge in the classroom, but also develop essential skills in a real work environment. Dual learning is designed to better prepare young people for the labour market and increase their chances of a successful career.

The Basics of Dual Learning

Dual learning emerged from the need to involve young people more actively in the work process during their education. The aim is to create a seamless transition between education and work. This system is particularly suitable for young people who like to learn by doing and for whom a traditional school environment is less effective.

Various Institutions for Dual Learning

In Belgium there are several organisations and schools that offer dual learning, including:

  • CDOs (Centers for Part-time Education): These are aimed at young people who part-time education want to follow in combination with work or a work experience program.
  • Syntra: A network of training centres offering training for both young people and adults, often with a focus on craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.

Although both systems are aimed at combining learning and working, they differ in a number of important respects, such as the content of the timetable, guidance and the focus of the courses.

The CDO System

What are CDOs?

Centers for Part-time Education are schools that offer an alternative to traditional full-time education. Students follow theory lessons at school two days a week and work the remaining days in a recognized training company.

Strengths of CDOs:

  • More School Time: Young people receive two days of lessons, which means that there is more room for theoretical deepening and personal guidance.
  • Flexibility: The system is suitable for young people with diverse backgrounds and educational levels.
  • Customized Support: CDOs often provide intensive guidance to students who need extra help.

Target audience of CDOs

CDOs mainly focus on young people between the ages of 15 and 25 who have difficulty with full-time education or who feel better in a practice-oriented learning environment.

The Syntra System

What is Syntra?

Syntra offers training courses with only one day at school.

Differences between CDO and Syntra

Although both systems are aimed at dual learning, there are important differences:

Aspect CDO Syntra
Teaching days 2 days school, 3 days work 1 day school, 4 days work
Target audience Youngsters between 15 and 25 years
Workshop Leading More personal guidance
Focus theme General development

Why are CDOs with Two Days of Teaching Attractive?

1. More Space for Theory

Students in a CDO get more time to understand theoretical concepts. Especially in technical or complex subjects this is a big advantage.

2. Good Guidance

With two days of lessons there is more room for personal guidance. This is especially important for young people who need extra support to be successful.

3. Balance between Learning and Working

While hands-on experience is important, too much time on the job can be overwhelming. CDOs provide a better balance between learning and working, which helps students feel less burned out.

4. Broader Curriculum

CDOs offer, in addition to subject-oriented training, also general education, such as language and mathematics. This makes the training more versatile and increases the chances on the labor market.

Benefits of Dual Learning through CDOs

Benefits:

  • More guidance and support
  • Good balance between theory and practice
  • Accessible to various target groups

Training opportunities at CDOs

CDOs offer a wide range of training, including:

  • Technical professions (e.g. electrician, mechanic)
  • Healthcare sector (e.g. childcare worker, healthcare professional)
  • Creative professions (e.g. graphic designer)

The two days of lessons per week make it possible to build a strong theoretical foundation in addition to practical experience.

The Future of Dual Learning

Dual learning is growing in popularity because it meets the needs of both students and employers. By finding a good balance between learning and working, young people can be better prepared for the labor market. The choice between CDO and Syntra depends on the personal preference and goals of the student.
