They had already traveled to Amsterdam a day before the competitions: the students of the ROC van Twente in Almelo who took part in the National Championships for professions last week. In the RAI they competed with other trainee professionals from all over the Netherlands. Cooks, stylists, tilers, flower binders, future carers, to see who is the greatest talent. Not only an important competition for students and trainers, but given the shortage of staff, it is a good time for employers to look at the golden hands of the future.
