Our teams of national and international experts implement our programmes and projects with one shared passion and mission: ensuring quality education through strong partnerships with ministries of education. Teachers and school leaders are key in this endeavour and, as such, VVOB's first consideration. Equity in education, and equity through education, is the guiding principle. In our Learning Unlimited. strategy, we define how we will realise these ambitions by 2030. 

Our HR Approach

VVOB’s mission and  vision are central to our HR approach and fundamental to our recruitment, development and career programmes. We envision VVOB as an organisation where:  

  • Our people and ideas are diverse

  • Autonomy is encouraged and employees demonstrate personal leadership 
  • Every employee is valued , and decisions are made at the most decentralised level due to shared leadership 

 

To implement this HR vision, three organisation-wide competencies support us: 

  1. Cooperation: Common goals and programme results can only be reached by working closely together. By working together, we ensure our programmes run smoothly and we manage knowledge effectively.

Continuous improvement: The continuous professional development of all VVOB staff is an essential task and responsibility of the organisation. Building expertise and competencies of our staff in content, approaches and processes is our guarantee to deliver on VVOB’s vision, mission and live up to our core values.
  3. Result orientation: We work towards clear results, track the progress and measure the impact to know and be able to prove that our actions contribute to  improving the quality of education. In addition, VVOB provides an entrepreneurial environment in which staff members are granted the space to take initiative.
