The Institute for Design & Engineering for Professionals (IDE4P) is one of the knowledge institutes affiliated with Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. This institute serves as a hub where working professionals convene to enhance and broaden their expertise within their specific fields.
IDE4P has been providing a diverse array of educational programs for over 60 years, catering to post-secondary, post-bachelor, and master’s levels. In addition to these educational offerings, the institute maintains close collaborations with pertinent technical industry organizations and companies, with the goal of effectively meeting the needs of both employers and employees.
At IDE4P, professionals and their employers have access to a wide range of educational opportunities. This encompasses courses related to materials, such as Metallurgy (including elective modules like 3D Metal Printing and Corrosion), courses centered on inspection and certification techniques, programs dedicated to maintenance and asset management, and a project management course tailored to technicians, suitable for a broader audience. Moreover, the IDE4P team stands prepared to assist with any other inquiries related to technical education. We specialize in developing bespoke, in-company training programs that align precisely with a company’s unique requirements, covering aspects of content, duration, and proficiency level. These programs can be conducted on-site within a company, in a particular region, or at a location of the company’s choosing.
Our course offerings are designed to address the educational needs of the profession while addressing the collective challenges we encounter. While subject matter expertise is paramount in our offerings, we also focus on personal and interpersonal skills when necessary.
In today’s era, it is crucial to keep employees’ knowledge up-to-date, particularly as the technical sector contends with a shortage of skilled workers. Encouraging continuous development is an attractive prospect for employees, as it keeps their work stimulating and engaging while fortifying their connection to the company.
We’re excited to meet you at our booth. Feel free to drop by for a chat, ask any questions you might have, and let’s explore together how we can take your career, or that of your employees, to new heights. See you soon!
