The Aeres Dronten faculty is an agricultural college focused on business administration, animals, food and green space. Of the more than 2,100 students, most follow full-time studies. In addition, around 150 students follow part-time education and we have 210 international students.

In this project the poultry and dairy TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) programs in SMK's will become gender sensitive, agribusiness driven and certified on the basis of the three CO's (consultation, co-education and co-entrepreneurship) hence authorities, companies and educators working together in curricula formulation, certification, implementation and evaluation.
In order to achieve this, the proposed project approach has the following eight main characteristics:
- focus on a specific agricultural sub-sector (animal production);
- triple helix;
- Building on existing pool of well-trained Polytechnic teachers that will train teachers;
- introduction of innovative, e-learning;
- strengthening management and leadership;
- involvement of six SMK LSP centres for learners and the national LSP training centre for teachers;
- co-education facilitation;
- rollout to a larger group of SMK’s.
