Jobortunity focuses on the heart (attitude) in combination with giving students new insights and understanding about the job market and employment (knowledge). It facilitates skills training through an 8-month apprenticeship program in partnership with companies.

The Hi5

Indicators

The focus in Jobortunity is on ’the heart,” i.e., attitude; therefore, the entire curriculum is set up around Hi5, a training method guided by the fingers of one’s hand. All students’ development is recorded, and analyses are done using a Hi5 tracking system. Jobortunity developed more than 100 training lessons. For example, in Thumb Finger, we teach about being professional by taking responsibility, having work ethics, knowing how to present yourself, and understanding the importance of time management.

The Hi5

The Hi5

Apprenticeship

Our students go through a rigorous 8-month apprenticeship program in partner companies. The various departments they go through helps to sharpen their skill level and the understanding of the service industry in a much clearer approach.
