As the mobility and automotive sectors undergo rapid transformation, education must evolve just as quickly. Preparing students for sustainable, digital, and industry-driven mobility requires more than theory — it demands hands-on learning, real-world collaboration, and visionary educators. In this context, Toon Bertens from Koning Willem I College (KW1C) highlights how education in the mobility and logistics sector is evolving to meet the demands of a rapidly changing automotive industry. As a educator of KW1C and a member of the Auto Cove 2.0 project team, Toon Bertens presents a clear vision of future-oriented education built on practical learning, sustainability, and strong cooperation with industry.
The video showcases how students are prepared for careers in modern mobility through hands-on training, real-world projects, and the integration of new technologies. This approach directly reflects the objectives of Auto Cove 2.0, which aims to bridge academic education and industrial practice through international collaboration, applied learning, and exposure to innovative mobility solutions.
By featuring Toon Bertens and the educational practices at KW1C, the video serves as a strong example of the mindset and methods promoted by the Auto Cove 2.0 project—preparing students to actively contribute to the future of sustainable, smart, and connected mobility in Europe.
