The Professional Advisory Board (Werkveldadviesraad, WVAR) maintains contact between study programmes and the professional field in which graduates find employment. The board consists of alumni, employers and other representatives of the professional field.
The WVAR has an advisory role and provides input on the content and development of the curriculum, the connection to the labor market and the preparation of students for their future profession. The board can also advise on internships and other training activities.
The board thus contributes to keeping education current, relevant and future-oriented.
