Why CCT.1 • 1999: Booming economy, lots of vacancies, everybody searching for qualified higher educated personal • Twente-based organisations met with the growing problem to fill their vacancies • Three main reasons: based on the perception of the area: 1.People tend to believe that there are only one or two interesting employers in the Twente region: For a career you should look elsewhere. 2. Twente was seen as a dull area, no quality of living, no culture partly based on the capacity of the region 3. BrainDrain: Graduated form Twente University and Saxion High school leave our region to find their first job in the sexy central part of The Netherlands, the part that we call ‘Holland’.
Why CCT.2 • Because of these reasons a group of HR-managers decided to found Career Center Twente to cope with our recruitment and image problems • Career Center Twente is a joined effort of, nowadays, 30 organisations with an excellent name in the Dutch labour market.
What did CCT do • CCT is a promotion organisation: We present the Twente Region as a region where it is good to wordk and live for higher educated. • We developed a web-based marketing strategy in which we present the collectivity of our regional and in The Netherlands well known employers and their vacancies, thus showing quality of career development possibilities in Twente • In addition we show the quality of life in our region • We offer migration services such as a jobsearch for partners, nursery, housing facilities, removal contractor, mortgage help etc. • We attract attention by radio commercials (every month), social media and advertising in print

Future • Starting 2008, we not only encounter the effects of BrainDrain but also the effect of Demographic Change. • Demographic Change will lead us to a gap of more than 100.000 higher educated people for the whole of The Netherlands and, traditional, the peripheral regions suffer the most • In Twente we have a need for about 20.000 higher educated people, 50% replacement and 50% for new, innovative activities • Expat Center • Economic crisis!
